The Mbappé soap opera is entering a decisive phase. Already because we are soon approaching the end of July, the initial deadline for the French striker’s response to the activation of his extension year, until 2025. The response, precisely, was delivered there. a few weeks ago, via a letter, which turned PSG’s plans upside down, but not only.
Since then, the capital club and Kylian Mbappé have been waging a real war of position, each judging that they are in their right. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has publicly assured that the French international will not leave free and that it will therefore be necessary either a transfer this summer or a contract extension. Mbappé already has an agreement with Real Madrid for the summer of 2024 and claims to have never promised the Parisian president that he would not leave free.
Real Madrid have the cards in hand
After the Al-Hilal smokescreen, a destination never considered by Kylian Mbappé, serious things begin. Only one club can recover the French, it is obviously Real Madrid. La Casa Blanca has no interest in rushing, and has all the cards in hand. Moreover, she does not discuss directly with the Ile-de-France club. It is the intermediaries who take care of it. And precisely, as reported brand, a first step has been taken between the two parties since PSG has communicated its price to Real for a transfer this summer. Prize that was passed on to the Madrid club by Fayza Lamari, the player’s mother.
And this price amounts to 250 M€. Expensive for a player who only has one year left on his contract and who has said he is determined to stay at PSG this season. The goal of PSG is to beat the transfer record, established during that of Neymar in 2017, for 222 M €. But the conditions are not really met. brand also informs that if PSG managed to recover such a sum, it would have to share part of it with Mbappé, so that he agrees to leave, thus cutting back on the remaining contract year and certain staggering bonuses.
Especially since by leaving in 2023, Kylian Mbappé would give up on the signing bonus of € 130 million promised by Real Madrid. The Spanish publication also mentions the fact that the merengue club does not wish to exchange directly with Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, guilty of not having responded to the three successive offers sent in August 2021… when Mbappé had one year of contract left. Today, it is rather Real Madrid who will be able to have fun turning a deaf ear to Parisian demands.
