PSG believe star player Kylian Mbappe has already made transfer decision amid Real Madrid links
[ad_1]
Paris Saint-Germain (Paris Saint-Germain) is reported to fear that Kylian Mbappe has already decided his future amid interest from Real Madrid.
The French star last year penned a two-year extension with the option to extend his contract for a further 12 months. But he doesn’t want to take up the item, and Real Madrid is all about it again.
PSG have reportedly put a €200m valuation on the 24-year-old, but Real Madrid want to wait until 2024 to sign him on a free transfer. This would be a nightmare scenario ParisiansConsidering they paid €180m to sign him permanently from AS Monaco in 2018.
according to the team (h/t @MadridXtra), PSG fear this situation could happen. They believe Mbappe has already decided to leave the club as a free agent at the end of next season.
Real Madrid are in need of a world-class striker following Karim Benzema’s transfer to Al Ittihad last month. It remains to be seen if they sign a new striker to keep the number 9 position until they launch an attack to sign Mbappe.
Joselu, 33, has signed on a season-long loan from Espanyol with an option to buy for €1.5m. But he is not believed to be a striker who will start week after week at Real Madrid.
What Kylian Mbappe said about Paris Saint-Germain staying amid Real Madrid’s interest
Last month, Kylian Mbappe sent a letter to PSG that would have sent the board into a frenzy.
The Frenchman made it clear that he did not want to extend his contract at the club, which put the French League giants in a difficult position. They can either keep him and lose him for nothing next year, or they can see another superstar leave the club immediately after Lionel Messi is out.
Speaking about the issue at a press conference last month, the France national team captain said via GOAL:
“My goal is to survive, it’s the only option at the moment. I didn’t think a message could kill anyone. I didn’t think it would offend anyone. I just sent a message. I don’t really care about feedback.”
“Why am I going to the end of my contract? There’s no need to explain, people can talk, they don’t have all the ins and outs, and it’s too bad for them. I know why I’m doing this, there’s no problem with that.”
PSG is in a situation they thought they wouldn’t have to deal with for at least another year. Not only are they in a position to lose their club’s most prolific player in history (212 goals), but they can do so without getting anything in return.
