De Gea leaves Manchester United

Mbappé fueled speculation regarding the future
Kylian Mbappé has further fueled speculation regarding his sporting future with his recent statements. The superstar doesn’t see his achievements at Paris Saint-Germain being given enough credit. “In France you saw me growing up, you see me all the time, every weekend at PSG or with the national team. And I’ve been scoring a lot of goals for years, so it’s going to be normal for people,” the 24-year-old told France Football magazine “.
Mbappé, who was allegedly courted by Real Madrid, continued that the fact that he was playing for PSG was “not helpful” because the team and club would polarize. The contract of the 2018 world champion runs in Paris until the summer of 2024, and Mbappé had rejected an extension by letter in June. In order to achieve a transfer fee, the French champions would have to give up their top star in this transfer period or next winter at the latest.
“We cannot let one of the best players in the world go for nothing,” club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said on Wednesday. In an official club announcement, Mbappé was asked to make a decision by July 31, i.e.: extension or transfer. “I have this hunger to win. I don’t want to be in a team that’s only there to take part,” said Mbappé, without specifically addressing the change speculation. “I’m not afraid to say what I want, even if things don’t go the way I want them to.”
It was also disappointing for the striker that PSG failed once more early in the Champions League last season. “I don’t know what PSG is missing,” he said, adding that you have to ask the club’s management. In the round of 16, the star ensemble around Mbappé was eliminated following two defeats once morest FC Bayern.
