Kylian Mbappe wants to join Real Madrid but PSG is against it. The PSG officials offered him a new contract but the player rejected it.
The Kylian Saga continues
The Kylian Mbappe transfer saga is close to coming to an end, and tensions are higher than ever. With the arrival of Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain, the French side now need to free up some salaries at the club and the 22-year-old is still heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.
The Italian newspapers reported on Thursday that Mbappe, who was whistled by PSG’s supporters during the team’s presentation ahead of the new season, will break his silence about his future on Monday. Real Madrid are ready to go after the player, which doesn’t mean they’ll get him, and Florentino Perez will need to use all his powers of persuasion to convince the Parisian side to let their young star go.
Maximum pressure on the player
The pressure on Mbappe from PSG is huge, as they continue to put more and more attractive deals on the table. The PSG players are also doing all they can to convince him to stay, with Neymar working for a long time to keep him in Paris, while new arrivals Sergio Ramos and Messi have told him they want him to remain part of the side. The whistles and jeers from the club’s fans are also a taste of what this season could be like if he doesn’t sign a new deal, while some have suggested a period on the bench could be a way of applying more pressure. Los Blancos are waiting until tensions are particularly high between the player and PSG before making their move. The deal will be amicable, but the French side are aware that one club – Real Madrid – are willing to pay a considerable amount for a player who will be out of contract in a year.
