Mystery still dominates the future of Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe, inside the Princes’ Park, despite his contract renewal last summer for two seasons, with the option to extend for an additional season.
The Catalan newspaper “Sport” said that PSG’s position on qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Champions League will be decisive for the future of many stars, led by Mbappe.
The newspaper pointed out that not compensating for losing the first leg against Bayern Munich (1-0) in the round of 16 in Paris, in the second leg in Germany, next Wednesday, will be a bullet in the heart of the Saint-Germain project.
And just like Lionel Messi, who appears to be leaving Paris at the end of his contract next summer, unless the team reaches far in the Champions League, Mbappe will also try not to complete his contract. The newspaper indicated that Real Madrid’s option still exists for Mbappe, despite his position last season, to renew his contract after his agreement with Meringue.
Signing a new striker is indisputable for Real Madrid, especially with the age of royal star Karim Benzema (35 years). Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, dreams of seeing the duo of Mbappe and Vinicius Junior together in the Meringue shirt.
The newspaper added that the alternative destination for Mbappe will be the Premier League, specifically to Liverpool, whose coach Jurgen Klopp hopes to supervise Mbappe’s training at Anfield, especially since their relationship is very good.
Chelsea and Manchester United could also be potential competitors for the Mbappe deal, as the first has terrible financial capabilities with the new owner, Todd Boiley, and the second is close to moving to new owners, who will try to improve the level of the team.
But it is also possible that Mbappe will stay in Paris for another season, especially since the team’s position in the Champions League has not yet been decided, and the French club will stick to his stay, and will refuse to sell him, whatever the financial consideration.
