Kylian Mbappé expects PSG to honor the rest of his contract amid the ongoing saga over his future.
Since Mbappé announced he would not extend his contract beyond the end of next season, PSG have been scrambling to sell their most prized possession to avoid losing it on a free transfer. in a year.
A record €300m offer from Saudi club Al-Hilal was accepted, but Mbappé was not interested in a move to the Middle East, leaving PSG still in search of a solution as time passes in the current transfer window.
As things stand, Real Madrid appear to be the only club able to secure the Frenchman’s services this summer, having unsuccessfully attempted to land the French superstar last year.
But no offers have materialized so far – and, unless that changes, it looks like the French star will hang on and stay at PSG.
According to Spanish radio SER padlockthe 24-year-old feels “hurt” by the way PSG treated him – he was left out of the squad for the pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea – and intends to claim the total value of his contract: his salary of 72 million euros plus bonuses.
Chelsea get into the race
Even though Real appear to be Mbappé’s most likely destination, other clubs would inevitably be interested in the 2018 World Cup winner.
Blues owner Todd Boehly has personally contacted PSG in an attempt to strike a deal.
However, it is not certain that the double European champions can carry out such a transfer in compliance with the rules of financial fair play (FFP): PSG would estimate Mbappé at 200 million euros, which would constitute the second amount the highest of all time, behind the 222 million euros paid by PSG to recruit Neymar to FC Barcelona in 2017.
