If Kylian Mbappé wants to extend with Paris Saint-Germain, the player of the France team has until Monday evening midnight to decide. The captain of the Blues is however linked with the capital club until June 2024, but he refuses to activate his clause while ruling out the possibility of a departure.
A new episode in the Kylian Mbappé saga. The player has until midnight on Monday evening to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain for a year. The star striker of the France team is currently linked to Paris until June 2024, but he refuses to activate his clause while brushing aside the possibility of a departure. A more than embarrassing situation for the Parisian leaders.
A communication war
Remember what the president of PSG, Nasser-Al-Khelaïfi, said to the press around the world in July, during the presentation of the new coach Luis Enrique. “We want Kylian to stay but he needs to sign a new contract. We don’t want to let the best player in the world leave for free, it’s impossible,” said the PSG technician at the time. A blow of pressure which will not have had the expected effect. Kylian Mbappé has already written to the club that he will not extend in a letter in mid-June and neither his exclusion from the professional group nor the threat of a white season without playing seems to worry him.
The player has only one goal, the one he set for himself during the UNFP Trophies at the end of May. “I have my contract, I’m very happy. I said I’ll be there next year and I hope we’ll have a great year,” said the captain of the France team. The two clans therefore entered into a communication war. A situation where neither the player nor the club seem to be winning. Paris still hopes to convince Kylian Mbappé to extend or leave. But for that, Real Madrid must already make a concrete offer, which still hasn’t happened.
