The Frenchman wants to fulfill the remaining year of his contract and, for Paris Saint-Germain, as he has shown on other occasions, money will not be the most important thing
The arrival of ‘Lucho’ will be decisive in trying to convince Kylian with a ambitious project
The soap opera starring kylian mbappe it’s like matter. It is neither created nor destroyed, it is transformed. One more summer, the French striker will once again be one of the main players in the transfer market. The letter that the footballer sent to PSG to inform his current club that he will not activate the optional extra year that his contract includes until June 30, 2024 has sparked rumors about his future. Fasten seat belts; curves are coming.
Some media have ensured that PSG have no intention of letting their crown jewel escape with the letter of freedom, that is, in exchange for nothing. And that, in the event that Mbappé wishes to put an end to his stage in the Parc des Princes, the Parisian entity will focus all its efforts on selling the attacker in the incorporation window that will open when the month of July begins.
start the game
The reality, however, is that the leaders of the French team have shown more than once and twice that, for them, money is not a priority. In the past they have already risked losing Kylian at zero cost and the strategy worked for them: they bought time and articulated a strategy to achieve a renewal that at times even seemed utopian.
If there is any club that can afford to reject exorbitant offers for a footballer who is free in less than half a year, this is PSG. The outcome of the latest negotiations with Mbappé reinforces his position: in football, there is no scenario that can be ruled out outright. Things can change a lot in a very short time. In the capital of France They are used to living with Real Madrid’s eternal interest in the striker and, for the moment, there is no nervousness. And more after the public statements of the soccer player, whose will is to fulfill the commitment that he signed just a year ago.
“Next season I will play for PSG, I still have a contract,” he declared at the end of May. In this context, it is very important to note that the fact that Kylian does not activate the optional contract year now does not mean that he does not want to continue at PSG from 2024, but that You do not want to do it under the agreed conditions in its last renewal or before knowing deeply and in detail the sports project of the Parisian team.
The Luis Enrique factor
And here, of course, the figure of ‘Lucho’ enters. In the coming days, the Asturian coach will travel to Paris to take over from Christophe Galtier on the PSG bench. There has not yet been any contact between the former Spanish coach and Mbappé, but his figure and his short-term project will be very important in the outcome of the new episode of the serial on the Frenchman’s future.
Luis Enrique is not expected to be in charge of resolving the situation, but he is that ends up tipping the balance to one side or the other. PSG’s position, as we have pointed out, is very clear: they will only let their star out this summer if the footballer forces a change of scenery (something that is not going through his head at the moment) and that, in that supposed, some club puts an astronomical offer on the table.
The Madrid, passive
After everything that happened last summer, Florentino Pérez does not want to make the same mistakes and, according to the information published from the Spanish capital, everything seems to indicate that Real Madrid will not make any movement in the coming weeks if they do not see real options to sign Kylian Mbappé. The white club, aware that the Frenchman will be released in 2024, will also play their cards. At the moment, the merengue club remains on the sidelines.
