Kylian Mbappe and an umpteenth rejection to Real Madrid
By Manuel Meza
“Sale or extension”. That was for a few weeks Nasser Al-Khelaifi's position regarding the future of Kylian Mbappe. After never publicly expressing his desire to go to Real Madrid, the Bondy native is already training with PSG, already scoring at the Parc des Princes, and already negotiating a contract extension with the Parisian team...
With only one day to go until the end of the transfer market, the future of Kylian Mbappe continues to be at the center of rumors. Especially for the Merengue fans, since the press that covers PSG revolves more than anything around the situations of Randal Kolo Muani and Bradley Barcola.
"We cannot let the best player in the world go free, he said he would never go free," Nasser Al-Khelaifi declared at the beginning of July, regarding the situation with Mbappe. The PSG president's position was clear; Either the player renewed his contract, or he would be sold.
It was the perfect opportunity for Kylian to express his desire to play for Real Madrid and for the team chaired by Florentino Perez to present an offer and get the player they have longed for since 2017... None of that happened.
Eventually Mbappe not only did not lift a finger to force his departure to the Spanish capital as, for example, Randal Kolo Muani is doing to leave Frankfurt for Paris, but he was also reinstated to PSG training, he already played and scored again with the club and he is seen all smiles on a day-to-day basis. In the end, the player was always clear about it, even publicly; His intention is to play the 2023-2024 season with Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG and Kylian Mbappe, in negotiations for a contract renewal
As we told you, Ben Jacobs reports this Wednesday, August 30 (it is necessary to set dates in such an unpredictable case) that PSG is negotiating a contract renewal with Kylian Mbappe, with different potential structures.
The Parisian club is described as happy about his commitment to be reinstated to the first team. Even rumors that the Bondy native would be announced today by Real Madrid have been denied. "PSG planning for the season with Mbappe," adds the aforementioned journalist.
Therefore, the trend at the moment, and as in recent days, is for Kylian Mbappe to remain at PSG during the 2023-2024 season, thus signing his umpteenth rejection of the possibility of joining the Santiago Bernabeu.
