It is the resumption of a soap opera which PSG supporters, tired, would have done well. Will leave? Won’t leave? Will sign at Real Madrid? Will not sign? Will extend to Paris? Will not extend? Since 2019, the future of Kylian Mbappé has been one of the hot topics at the end of each season. He resurfaced at the start of the transfer window, since the striker officially informed his leaders via a letter that he would not extend after 2024.
The arrival of Bondy’s crack at Paris Saint-Germain was made official at the end of the summer of 2017, to the delight of the club and its fans who prided themselves on having the greatest hope on the planet in their ranks. football. Kylian Mbappé signed up for a one-year loan with an option to buy 180 million euros, automatically exercised at the end of his first season, making him a Parisian player until 2022. Edinson Cavani and Neymar, the striker won his second French championship title at just 19 years old. In May 2018, he won the title of best hope of the season at the UNFP trophy ceremony.
His performances are unanimous, when the agreement seems to be in good shape with the leaders of the club. In the wake of the championship, the striker made the Blues shine and took them to the title of world champion in Russia. He performed even better during the 2018-2019 season, until winning his first trophy for best player in the championship during these same UNFP trophies. It was there that for the first time he opened the door to a departure from PSG.
Two offers from Real Madrid in August 2021
“It’s a very important moment for me, I’m coming to a first or second turning point in my career. I discovered a lot of things here, I feel that it is perhaps the time to have more responsibilities, had then dropped the world champion when receiving his prize. I hope it will perhaps be at Paris Saint-Germain, it would be with great pleasure, or perhaps elsewhere for a new project”. A stroke of pressure that the leaders of PSG had already not appreciated, but which had finally not panicked them, aware of the expectations of the player, who dreamed of being at the head of the gondola of the club.
Bis repeated at the UNFP trophies in 2021, where Kylian Mbappé is once again crowned best player. “I have always been grateful to the president, the various coaches. But what I want is to win, to be where there is a solid project around me. The sports project is essential, ”he insisted, one year from the end of his contract. In August, Real Madrid went on the offensive and made two major offers at 160 then 180 million euros. A time close to opening negotiations, especially given the amount of the second offer, PSG finally did not give in and kept Kylian Mbappé.
The soap opera will continue throughout the 2021-2022 financial year. On the one hand, the Parisian leaders, Leonardo in the lead, reassure the club’s followers, when Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, agitates the Spanish press on the signing of the world champion. He assures in particular on October 5, 2021, hoping that “everything will be settled” on January 1, 2022, the date on which the player is free. But despite another early elimination in the Champions League, calls from the foot of Benzema and other Modric from Madrid, Mbappé decides and ends up staying at PSG.
The management informed on July 15, 2022 of his departure in 2024
” I have a good new. Kylian Mbappé will stay until 2025”. On May 21, 2022, the extension was made official in front of a boiling Parc des Princes by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, visibly very proud of this operation “I have always said that Paris is my home, and I hope that I will continue to doing what I love the most, which is to say playing football and winning trophies”, then continues the striker, brandishing a PSG jersey or enthroned a vast “2025”, as if to confirm that he will be there for the next three years.
But according to the statements of the striker, the trend has quickly changed. In a statement sent to Agence France Presse on Tuesday, Kylian Mbappé and his entourage ensure that “the management of the club in charge of its extension” was informed “on July 15, 2022 of its decision (Editor’s note: not to go to beyond 2024) and the letter (sent on Monday) had the sole purpose of confirming what had already been clarified orally beforehand.
Meanwhile, in the fall of 2022, relations were once again strained between the player and his leaders, suggesting a possible departure during the post-World Cup winter transfer window. In the wake of an ironic Instagram post based on “pivot gang”, about his positioning on the ground, information on Kylian Mbappé’s desire to leave the club had been exposed.
Today, the captain of the Blues remains on his line. “I have already said that I will continue next season at PSG where I am very happy,” he reaffirmed in a tweet on Tuesday afternoon, denying a possible departure to Real Madrid. A desire that he had mentioned on May 28, on the occasion, again, of the UNFP trophies: “I said that next year I will play at PSG, I still have a year of contract so I will honor my contract. The capital club, he still has no intention of giving it up for free.
