Will leave, won’t leave? Kylian Mbappé and PSG have entered into a showdown. The club is not against the departure of the striker this summer if the sum of 180 or 200 M€ is dropped but favors the extension, his contract ending in a year. Letting him go free in a year is unthinkable for Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. “If Kylian wants to stay, we want him to stay. But he needs to sign a new contract. We don’t want to let the best player in the world go for free. It’s impossible.”
The president pulled out the muscles last week at a press conference. In the process, he even set a very short deadline. “That’s why he has to decide next week (this week, editor’s note), or maximum in two weeks (in 7 days). And if he doesn’t want to sign a new contract, the door is open. It’s like that for him and for everyone else.” In other words, the answer is expected in the coming days. Otherwise, Luis Enrique could leave him in France while the club moves to Japan for the pre-season.
PSG is studying all options to extend Mbappé
Alongside these pressure shots, the club is trying to change the 2018 world champion’s mind. RMC, the management is considering all possible solutions to prolong the adventure. She would think about lifting the option to extend the existing lease, drawing up a new contract associated with additional details, or even discussing new parameters, including the fact of directly entering a paragraph that could cause the player to leave. summer 2024. In short, it must be understood that PSG is ready to do a lot to bend Kylian Mbappé and have him extended.
Problem, it is still necessary to get in touch with his entourage, which is not yet the case according to the media. The episode of the exchange of letters made the context particularly tense. To defuse this, the capital club would count on a certain Ziad Hammoud, a former manager of BeIN Media Group who became manager of the business part of the star’s image. RMC specifies that this 44-year-old Franco-Lebanese will take over the KEWJF company (for Kylian, Ethan, Wilfried, Jirès Kembo Ekoko and Fayza, members of the Mbappé family) and could become a valuable intermediary between the player and Al-Khelaïfi , to which it is very close.
