A few days before the reinstatement of Kylian Mbappé, a heated discussion had concerned the Bondynois and the president of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
This is a conversation that took place on August 8, according to L’Equipe. At the height of the crisis between Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain, the Bondynois met with his leaders to discuss his situation.
PSG maintained the posture of arm wrestling, by imposing on its attacker to extend this summer or to be sold, otherwise he would remain on the bench or in the stands until the end of his contract. “You’ll see, you won’t play again, we won’t give in”, would have launched President Nasser Al-Khelaifi. But Mbappé was obviously not impressed by this threat. ” You’ll see ? But what am I going to see? You will be the only president not to make me play”would have replied the 2018 world champion, in essence.
It was five days later that PSG announced the reinstatement of Mbappé, the day after the 0-0 against Lorient at the Parc des Princes. The capital club then mentioned « dvery constructive and positive discussions” with his player to justify this change. Many then felt that Mbappé had agreed to extend to PSG, with a departure clause for next summer, but officially it is not. This week, L’Equipe rather suggested, through the voice of Vincent Duluc, that Mbappé had made financial efforts (by giving up certain bonuses?) to be reinstated.
