Kylian Mbappé’s situation could be resolved in the days to come. A new announcement has changed the situation.
It may only be a matter of days. The endless Kylian Mbappé soap opera could come to an end during the month of February. Some Spanish media have even indicated in recent hours that the Paris Saint-Germain star could announce his choice by February 14, the date of the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Real Sociedad.
So what could be the outcome of this XXL file? As things currently stand, the trend would be towards a free departure from Real Madrid, but Paris has not said its last word. The capital club has built a squad tailor-made for its flagship player. The sporting and economic conditions proposed by the Qatari leaders would not leave the Mbappé clan indifferent.
This club can forget Mbappé, unless…
Besides PSG and Real, another alternative was mentioned in this series. The French world champion has fantastic ratings in England. Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and especially Liverpool have been listed as possible destinations for Mbappé. But if the Reds had a head start, the announcement of Jürgen Klopp’s departure at the end of the season changes the situation considerably. With uncertainty over the identity of its future manager, Liverpool should draw a line under Kylian Mbappé… unless Zinédine Zidane lets himself be seduced by the Mersey club. If such a scenario were to occur, the Bondy prodigy would surely think twice.
