During the summer break, Kylian Mbappé remains present on the field… of the transfer window. The new captain of the French team animates the “transfers” sections of the sports press. For good reason, the 2018 world champion has already announced that he will not extend his contract beyond his lease which runs until 2024. This decision puts Paris-Saint Germain under pressure. Either the club agrees to sell the footballer (Real Madrid, competitor for the title in the Champions League, is in the starting blocks), or it lets go, free, its player that it had bought 180 million euros.
Paris obviously does not intend to sit on such an investment. As such Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of the French champion club, announced the color: “My position is very clear. I don’t want to repeat myself every time: 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. That’s why he has to decide next week, or at most in two weeks. And if he does not want to sign a new contract, the door is open, ”he announced on Wednesday July 5 on the sidelines of the presentation of the new Parisian coach Luis Enrique.
Paris wants 200 million euros
If Mbappé were to leave this summer, the French would have a cost, and not the least. The Parisian figures a potential transfer of Bondy’s child between 200 and 250 million euros, which could make it the largest financial transaction between two clubs in history (the record being held by the 222 million spent by Paris in 2017 to snatch Neymar from FC Barcelona). Paris mainly reacted via a letter on July 3, the newspaper announced on Thursday The Teamthe same process that Mbappé had used for his non-extension.
In a three-page document, the PSG deplores the “enormous damage” and the “damage caused” by the public announcement of the Blue. “How do you want a club to position itself this summer knowing that the player does not want to extend in a year? If he changed his mind, no problem, but it should have remained private and we could have settled it, between us, this summer, ”we can read.

These various ultimatums left by the Parisian club to the French player are not to the taste of the Mbappé clan, and in particular of his mother Fayza Lamari. According Young Africa, the latter would even have called Nasser Al-Khalaïfi a “big liar”. The divorce seems to be more and more consummated between the international and his team. Real Madrid, who dream of enlisting him, but also the English of Liverpool, remain on the lookout to win the superstar of world football.
