Waiver of 200 million euros for a year with Mbappé
Paris, a very wealthy club financed by an investment company owned by the state of Qatar, not only competes with the “Royal” from Madrid in terms of sport, but also repeatedly on the transfer market. After they celebrated a victory last summer thanks to their financial possibilities, there should still be a defeat after this season – Real’s radiance is too great, especially compared to PSGwhere money reigns supreme.
That Nasser Al-Khelaifi end of August the transfer of Kylian Mbappe prevented is an expression for it. Although the PSG president knew that the exceptional French striker was keen to move to Madrid and allegedly wanted to pay Real Madrid around 200 million euros, he prevailed. And that, although he should have already been aware that Mbappe will carry out his desired change this summer – with an expiring contract without any transfer for PSG.
Score first against Madrid, then for Real?
Mbappé contradicts various media reports that he already has an agreement with Real. “I haven’t made a decision yet” said Mbappè at “Amazon Prime“about his future.”I think the game against Real Madrid will change a lot of things. Even if I am now free to do whatever I want, I will not speak to the opponent or do such things.“
As far as the official version is unofficial for many deal already through and will after the two Champions League– Duels (second leg on March 9th) of the two clubs also reported. Mbappé, however, then wants to continue to be part of the premier class and thus inflicted a sensitive defeat on his apparently future employer.
It’s not just about Mbappé
Despite the star ensembles in Paris with Neymar, Lionel Messi, Angel di Maria and many more Mbappé is the key in the game of the team Mauricio Pocchetino. In the League 1 the 23-year-old was involved in 21 goals in 22 games and in the Champions League in ten hits (six games) – best value in each case.
However, there are other stars attached to the Mbappé personality. Both clubs are said to have a keen interest in Erling Haaland, Dortmund should replace Mbappé in the event of a departure in Paris and storm at his side in Madrid. And what will become of Real goalscorer Karim Benzema, who, unlike the two, is in his final years of his career at the age of 34?
The Frenchman was unable to play with a hamstring injury but will be back against Paris. “I will come back very, very strong“, he promised his fans on Instagram.
Jams at Real must stop
And that is sorely needed from the “Royal” point of view. Real have only scored once in the past three games, and coach Carlo Ancelotti even accused his team of “not wanting to” in the 0-0 draw against Villarreal last weekend.
In the battle for Europe’s crown, that will probably not be a problem in Paris. In a prestige duel, which is not only about the title in the Champions League that both have announced, but also about the best players in the world.
