The screenwriters have pulled out their finest pen to write the new episodes of the Kylian Mbappé saga. A soap opera full of twists and turns. Last year, the Frenchman was on the verge of joining Real Madrid free before turning around. The arguments of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Doha tipped the balance in favor of PSG. A club where the captain of the Blues experienced ups and downs last year, between his relationship with Neymar, the “penaltygate”, the “pivot gang” or the betrayal of its leaders concerning the transfer window.
Showdown between KM7 and PSG
In 2023, KM7 is still the main character of the summer soap opera. It all started with a letter sent on June 12 to PSG. In it, he explains that he does not want to exercise his option to extend beyond 2024. This has made Paris explode in rage, which refuses to see its best player go free. Thus, the French club, which is thinking of offering him a new XXL lease, gave him an ultimatum: either he extends, or he is sold this summer. Despite these threats, KM7 remains firm. He wants to complete his contract and leave in a year.
But a departure this summer cannot be ruled out since PSG will not lose him for free. Real Madrid, sitting quietly with their popcorn, watch the latest episodes of this summer series. The Merengues, who have a substantial envelope if ever it is necessary to take action, remain cautious officially. The latest statements from Carlo Ancelotti, who did not want to talk about the player, go in this direction. But behind the scenes, the people of Madrid do not despair of recruiting the 24-year-old footballer this summer or next.
Exchanges with Real Madrid
Besides, Defense Central makes crisp revelations this Friday. Thus, we learn that Fayza Lamari, the mother and agent of KM7, exchanges regularly with Florentino Pérez. She would also have assured the president of Real Madrid that in his mind his son no longer really feels like a PSG player. He no longer adheres to the Ile-de-France project built around his person. The idea is therefore to change the air. DC also specifies that the Mbappé clan has already prepared a cash response when Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Paris will want to know his final decision.
Very clearly, KM7 will repeat that he does not wish to extend, he who is visibly tired of all the controversies of recent weeks. A godsend for the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium. The latter also have a specific plan for the captain of the Blues. According AS, the idea really is that he evolves as a number 9. The club are confident that his speed, impact and finishing skills will make him a great up-front striker. Despite the player’s preferences, the Spaniards do not intend to position him on a wing, especially on the left where Vinicius Jr is untouchable in their eyes. KM7 is warned. To be continued in the next episode.
