Mbappé extended, the twist?

If Kylian Mbappé announced to PSG president Nasser al-Khelaïfi his decision to leave the club at the end of the season, the 25-year-old prodigy could still continue with the Rouge et Bleu before being sold to Real Madrid!

The newspaper The Team also relays this improbable outcome. “ Some sources still mention a slim chance of seeing the Frenchman accept a solution so that Paris Saint-Germain can find their way financially », We can read in the article published Thursday afternoon. However, Florentino Pérez’s Real would then be furious at having to pay transfer compensation, while Casa Blanca is already not planning to do anything crazy regarding the salary of the captain of the Blues…
