The football world could soon be richer by another mega deal! Superstar Kylian Mbappé is not part of the Paris Saint-Germain squad who start the club’s Asian tour on Saturday. A sign that the Frenchman is leaving the club?
If you believe transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, everything could go very quickly. After the name of Kylian Mbappé was missing from the squad that will tackle the Asia trip with PSG in the course of preparation, Romano reported on Friday evening that a farewell decision would now be made quickly.
The 24-year-old superstar had already informed his club in a media-effective manner that he would not make use of the option anchored in his contract, which was extended from 2022 to 2024, to extend the working paper by another season. A public mud fight and hot rumors of a move to Real Madrid followed.
Crux of the matter: While PSG allegedly wanted to sell the goalgetter, Mbappé is said to insist on staying until 2024. In this case, the native of Paris is said to be entitled to an incredible loyalty bonus of 80 million euros.
“Real need another striker”
Rumors that Real Madrid would nevertheless bring their dream player into their ranks during the current transfer period have not stopped.
“Mbappé has to get into one of the three best leagues in Europe as soon as possible, and Real still needs a striker who guarantees at least 30 goals,” German real icon Bernd Schuster recently told “Sport Bild”: “I can’t imagine Joselu becoming Real Madrid’s regular centre-forward. Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have always scored 30 or 40 goals per season over the past ten years, Joselu won’t do that – but it needs it! That’s why I believe that Pérez [Reals Präsident Florentino Pérez] staying with Mbappé this summer.”
The problem: According to “Sport Bild”, the Madrilenians’ pain threshold should “only” be 120 million euros. An amount that could not be enough for PSG.
However, “The Athletic” reports that the tablecloth between Mbappé and the Parisians has finally been cut. Since the offensive player is expected to leave in any case in 2024, one plans directly without him. A circumstance that certainly brings a farewell closer.
