Like an early Christmas present. On December 20, Kylian and Ethan Mbappé shared a few minutes on the pitch for the first time as professionals, against Metz at the Parc des Princes. The big brother was very happy to combine with his younger brother Ethan, launched in added time of the match by Luis Enrique. The youngest of the Mbappé siblings has managed to get some playing time this season, with two other appearances in Ligue 1 (the last of which was against Metz again for the final day of the season), and two appearances in French Cup. A great success for a player linked by an aspiring contract.
Aged 17, he is reaching the end of his current contract. And discussions for an extension came to a halt following the announcement of his brother’s departure last February. The Spanish press quickly imagined a Mbappé package, the little brother joining the big one, as had been the case at PSG. But Ethan assured supporters at the training center that he would not go to Real Madrid. This does not mean that he will definitely stay at PSG, where his playing time will necessarily be limited given the competition.
Lille wants to recover Ethan Mbappé
Precisely, according to our information, it is a Ligue 1 club which is currently pushing to convince him to join. This is LOSC, which finished 4th in the standings and which will play the preliminary rounds of the Champions League. The northern club is doing everything possible to seduce the midfielder, who seems to have the potential to flourish in Ligue 1. By attracting a Mbappé in its nets, LOSC would also achieve a big coup on the media level.
Faced with the uncertainty surrounding its future, PSG currently has no control over this issue, made complex by the complicated end of Kylian Mbappé’s adventure. Ethan Mbappé no longer links his destiny to that of his big brother but intends to pursue his career as he sees fit. It remains to be seen whether Lille will be able to stand out from now on in the eyes of the young player.
