While Kylian Mbappé has stated that he would remain at PSG next season, reports suggest that he will join Real Madrid this summer. Qatar, knowing that the French striker will not renew his contract, would have eventually consented to let him go before his lease expires in 2024.
Kylian Mbappé, on the other hand, has made his feelings known. Last month, during the UNFP Trophies presentation, the Paris Saint-Germain striker stated that he would not be moving this summer. Despite his contractual obligations. Remember that the French, who were under contract until 2024, refused to exercise the option for another year. This choice may allow him to leave on his own next year.
Mbappé gets a free ticket out?
However, new Spanish reports suggest that he will join Real Madrid during the upcoming summer transfer window! According to journalist François Gallardo, who works for the program El Chiringuito in particular, Kylian Mbappé intends to speak during the month of June and announce his exit from Paris Saint-Germain. The former AS Monaco footballer is on his way to the White House to take part in the Merengue's American tour.
Given the rigidity of Paris' leaders, this is a difficult scenario to imagine. The explanation could come from the KoyotitoSPA Twitter account, which alleges that the Ile-de-France club and the Emir of Qatar offered Kylian Mbappé a departure voucher after learning that he would not be extending his contract.
The decision-makers at Paris Saint-Germain would have simply asked him to wait until the sports management attracted the necessary recruits to compensate for his departure.
In terms of the monetary value of the transaction, Real Madrid would have agreed to pay 230 million euros (bonus included) for his final year of contract. The captain of the France team would so succeed Karim Benzema as Spain's vice-champion. Of course, the material should be interpreted with extreme caution, as Spanish journalists have frequently mistaken their desire and reality in the Kylian Mbappé case.
