In a surprising turn of events, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) appears to have come to terms with the possibility of losing their star player, Kylian Mbappe, to Real Madrid. Recent reports suggest that Mbappe has allegedly agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer. PSG has taken a firm stance, sending a letter to the player, making it clear that if he does not extend his contract before the end of this month, he will be sold this summer to the highest bidder, regardless of the club.
No Room for Sentiment:
PSG’s decision-making process seems to be devoid of emotion, with any potential transfer regarded purely as a transactional affair. Previously, there were indications that PSG preferred not to engage in business with Real Madrid. However, if Mbappe fails to extend his contract, the French club is prepared to sell him to any club capable of meeting their asking price, which is estimated to be around £150 million.
PSG’s Plea to Mbappe:
The letter sent to Mbappe emphasizes the immense harm caused by his refusal to extend his contract. PSG implores the young superstar to reconsider and extend his contract, citing the support and assistance the club has provided to him and his family throughout their association.
PSG President’s Firm Stance:
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, PSG’s president, reiterated the club’s position, stating that they want Mbappe to stay, but he must sign a new contract. Al-Khelaifi expressed his concerns about losing the world’s best player for free and emphasized that PSG cannot afford such a scenario. While acknowledging Mbappe’s previous commitment to not leave for free, Al-Khelaifi maintained that if the player changes his mind, it is not the club’s fault. The president emphasized the club’s determination not to lose their prized asset without receiving a substantial transfer fee.
As the saga surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s future unfolds, Paris Saint-Germain finds itself in a delicate position. While the club is prepared to part ways with Mbappe if he does not extend his contract, PSG’s primary objective remains securing the world-class talent and avoiding a free transfer. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Mbappe’s future lies with PSG or if Real Madrid will succeed in securing his services.
