The soap opera around the future of Kylian Mbappé continues to animate the pre-season of Paris Saint-Germain. The latter considers that his French international striker has already reached an agreement to join Real Madrid for free and thus honor his contract, expiring in June 2024. Yes, but now, the Parisian management has already given him an ultimatum: either he extends, or he leaves PSG this summer.
To force him to make a decision quickly, the capital club decided to drop him from the group traveling to Japan for the summer tour. A decision that shocked more than one in the Parisian locker room, according to the latest information from RMC Sports. “If the atmosphere is quite good within the group, the players were surprised by this decision in this case”adds the tricolor media this Sunday morning.
Marquinhos wants to play alongside Mbappé
And during a press conference scheduled in Osaka for their week-long tour, Luis Enrique and Marquinhos did not necessarily avoid questions about the KM7 affair. It was the captain himself who decided to speak about his teammate. If he seemed annoyed at first, the Brazilian central defender nevertheless hopes that the French international (70 caps, 40 goals) will help PSG achieve their goals this season.
“Even in Japan, you are there with your questions. It’s delicate. He’s an exceptional player, very strong, but it’s a decision that goes beyond us players. This is a question for management. We always want to have the great players by our side, I hope we will have a good solution so that he can come back and help us for this season., the 29-year-old said. The message got through.
