Nasser Al-Khelaïfi spoke to RMC and L’Equipe on Tuesday about Kylian Mbappé and the president of PSG claimed to have an “agreement” with the French prodigy. Without saying more, except that he hopes to see him stay in the French capital.
Has the Kylian Mbappé soap opera taken a new turn this Tuesday afternoon? Difficult to say… In any case, the president of PSG Nasser Al-Khelaïfi wanted to talk about this burning subject at The Team and RMC and, if he did not announce that his star player was going to stay, he mentioned on several occasions an agreement he had with the captain of the France team. Perhaps a way of putting pressure on the player, while Football transfer window announced a departure for Real Madrid.
“I have a very good relationship with Kylian, not only as a player but as a person too. He said, after the Champions Trophy, that he had an agreement with me. For me, what he says stays between us, as a family”, launched “NAK” in Rothen igniteswithout specifying the nature of the agreement six months before the end of the 25-year-old player’s contract: “I don’t want to talk about money, it’s not a money agreement that we have, it’s a gentlemen’s agreement. It’s more of a gentlemen’s agreement that a signed agreement”. Al-Khelaïfi is therefore not referring to the renunciation of the signing bonus of 100 million euros last summer.
For The Teamthe Qatari thus affirmed that the Bondynois had given him “his word” and said to himself “confident because the best place for him is Paris”. Discussions between the two parties are still ongoing and Mbappé has visibly informed his president of the timetable for his decision. But what did he promise his current leadership? Can the top scorer of the 2022 World Cup extend for a year or two with a reasonable exit voucher to allow PSG to pocket a transfer fee? To be continued in the next episode.
