Far from being closed last summer with its renovation, the Kylian Mbappé soap opera is still more alive than ever. The Frenchman informed PSG that he will not exercise the option to extend his contract until 2025, so, in principle, he will end his time in Paris when his contractual relationship ends in 2024. A declaration of intent that has put an alert to the main bidder for the striker, Real Madrid, and also to the president of the French Republic.
“I will try to put pressure,” Emmanuel Macron told a fan who asked him about Mbappé, according to RMC. The leader already spoke with the winger last year so that he finally ruled out signing for Madrid and accepted the stratospheric offer to extend his contract with the Parisian club, which offered him an annual salary of approximately 73 million plus a renewal bonus.
Macron was also close to the speedy footballer when he lost the World Cup final in Qatar against Argentina despite his three goals. The politician was one of the first to approach to comfort an Mbappé who did not have the courage to attend to the president.
“I have no news about it,” added the French politician about the footballer, who in recent hours has denounced some “lies” published in the media about his future. “I have already said that I will continue next season at PSG, where I am very happy,” insisted Mbappé, who has no intention of changing scenery this summer, nor Real Madrid.
“I have not said that they sell me to Madrid or that I would like to leave, only that I will not activate the option of the additional year,” he added. For their part, PSG, angry with their player’s position, intends to sell their top star this summer, since next year the Frenchman would leave, leaving money in the club’s already full coffers.
The sad stage of Messi in Paris closed, with more whistles than glory, the possible departure of Mbappé would radically change the power of the French champion. Bondy’s, 24 years old, has been the team’s top scorer with 41 goals in 43 games, as well as distributing 10 assists.
