Stars and glitter, it’s over at PSG. A year ago, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi banged his fist on the table by publicly assuring that the capital club would no longer recruit very big stars and that no more preferential treatment would be granted. A facade speech since NAK and Paris Saint-Germain have offered an XXL contract to Kylian Mbappé so that he extends his contract and does not join Real Madrid.
In addition to a gold salary and various bonuses, the French club also gave him immense power. Indeed, the French was able to bring in some relatives, including Luis Campos, while claiming certain departures including that of Neymar. A year later, Al-Khelaïfi regrets having placed a player above everything. He therefore rectified the situation by toughening his tone with KM7 when he learned that he would not extend his contract beyond June 2024.
Barca is here
It is impossible for him to see him go free if he does not extend his lease. After giving him an ultimatum publicly, the Parisian club decided to move up a gear by removing him from the summer tour in Asia. He was thus sent with the PSG lofters. But Mbappé remains determined and faithful to his line of conduct. PSG is therefore doing everything to get rid of it this summer, since it has been announced that it will be on the market from July 31.
This is even already the case since several clubs, at least 5 to believe Sky Sports, contacted Paris to recruit KM7. Among them are Premier League teams (Chelsea, Tottenham, MU). PSG is listening and does not rule out lending its player to save his astronomical salary. But a sell is always the priority option. Moreover, Al-Hilal hopes to enlist the French superstar. The Team evokes an offer of 300 million euros from the Saudi team.
PSG have an appointment with the Culés
Paris is not closed. But the hardest part will be convincing the player, who doesn’t seem thrilled. It will take the same force of persuasion to convince him to join FC Barcelona. The Team indicates that a telephone meeting is scheduled for Monday between Barça, who was already interested when he played in Monaco, and PSG, two long-time enemies. The two clubs will discuss KM7. The Culés, financially limited, would like to include several players in the deal to lower the note.
But it is difficult to see how the Catalans, who had to give up on Lionel Messi for financial reasons in particular, could recruit the Habs. Especially since his dream is to join Real Madrid, the enemy club. Despite everything, the Blaugranas are visibly ready to give it a shot. Paris is not against listening to the Barcelonans. Proof that PSG is ready to do anything to separate from Kylian Mbappé.
