Paris Saint-Germain couldn’t have been clearer that Kylian Mbappé has to leave this summer if he doesn’t sign a new contract at Parc des Princes.
The player has let it be known that he wants to finish his contract with PSG and leave for free next summer as Real Madrid wait patiently. Los Blancos haven’t done the necessary steps to sign the Bondynois yet and may well be content to wait until next summer to do so.
Nevertheless, The Athletic claims that PSG would be ready to sideline Mbappé for the whole season, and leave him without football if he doesn’t cooperate. It would certainly be a drastic measure, but PSG are trying by all means to force their striker to renew his contract or leave.
It remains to be seen what the probability of such a decision is. It would be remarkable not to use the most valuable footballer in the world for an entire season, but it would also be an extremely counterproductive use of Ile-de-France resources.
One wonders what Luis Enrique must think of such a measure…
