Mbappé and PSG on the Point of Concluding an Agreement: The Saga Approaches Its Epilogue

The thorny Kylian Mbappé file continues to monopolize discussions within Paris Saint-Germain. While the 2018 world champion has regained his place in the team led by Luis Enrique, the capital club maintains its objective of reaching an extension agreement with the French prodigy.

Kylian Mbappé is about to take his first steps in Ligue 1 this Saturday evening, on the lawn of Toulouse. A week after his return to Luis Enrique’s group, the French player can finally train fully with his team. The Spanish coach, confident in the skills of his 24-year-old prodigy, intends to rely on him throughout the season. However, for this ambition to materialize, a definitive agreement between Mbappé and PSG is necessary. Fortunately, the negotiations are progressing in a calm atmosphere. However, it would seem that the internal discussions do not focus on a possible extension of the contract of the former Monegasque, who remains determined not to extend beyond his contract expiring in June 2024.

The Deadline Approaches for PSG

Kylian Mbappé made concessions, as did PSG. The objective is to close this story in the most harmonious way possible. It is now clear that Mbappé intends to leave in the summer of 2024. A departure as a free agent would suit Real Madrid perfectly, as they would avoid spending an astronomical sum on his acquisition. At least, not the staggering sum demanded by PSG. To meet the expectations of all parties, RMC sources indicate that the French player would be willing to give up some of his bonuses, offering a respite from PSG’s finances, which stand at 150 million euros. In return, the Parisian leaders could agree to let him go freely while benefiting from his skills throughout this season, and perhaps trying to persuade him to extend his contract over the coming months. It’s all about finding a mutually beneficial agreement. As the days tick away, the parties involved seem to be getting closer to a complete agreement.

Mbappé’s last year at PSG before his departure

Luis Miguel Sanz, deputy editorial director of Sport.es, has confirmed that Kylian Mbappé has agreed to give up some of his bonuses in order to continue playing under the colors of PSG this season, while Euro 2024 and the Games The Paris Olympics are looming on the horizon. However, the French star has by no means given up on his aspiration to don the Real Madrid outfit a year from now, a situation well understood by Nasser Al-Khelaifi. The Qatari president of Paris Saint-Germain hopes to capitalize on this additional year of cooperation, partly financed by Mbappé himself, to start discussions for a contract extension which could benefit both parties during the 2024 transfer window. In other words, PSG and Kylian Mbappé could reach an agreement at the expense of Real Madrid, pending the future transfer of the Parisian top scorer to the ranks of Merengue. However, it remains to be seen if Florentino Perez will adhere to this strategy which would put his club in a delicate position. The suspense persists as to the response of the Madrid president to this prospect.
