While Kylian Mbappé is expected to stay at PSG this season, that clearly wouldn’t mean that the capital club have won their standoff against Real Madrid over this thorny issue.

Arrived at Paris Saint-Germain during the 2017 summer transfer window, Kylian Mbappé is approaching the end of his contract in the French capital. Indeed, on June 30, 2022, in less than a year, the French international will be a free player, and he will already be able to engage freely with another club from the month of January. In this context, well aware that this summer transfer window could be the last opportunity for the PSG not to let his 22-year-old striker slip away for free, the real Madrid would consider going on the attack with a view to enlisting the one who has been advertised as his ultimate recruiting target for years. But while an offer of 120 M € was mentioned in the press in this perspective, everything indicates that the possible Madrid efforts will be in vain.

PSG won a battle, not the war

And for good reason, it now seems clear that Kylian Mbappé will stay at PSG for this 2021/2022 season. Already on Monday, several sources already announced that the capital club had no intention of letting go of its 22-year-old striker, namely the journalist from RMC Sport Loïc Tanzi, the journalist ofESPN Julien laurens and Gianluca Di Marzio. And this Wednesday, the Cadena SER is in the same direction, indicating that Leonardo told the Parisian cloakroom that Kylian Mbappé will still be here this season. The sports director of the PSG would have held the same speech during his transfer negotiations throughout the summer. Even more, the Spanish media adds that Kylian Mbappé himself would have communicated to his inner circle in the locker room that he will indeed be at their side this season. In short, as much to say that a departure of the French prodigy clearly does not seem to be on the point of happening, and this in spite of the insistent rumors on the subject on the other side of the Pyrenees.

However, this does not mean that the PSG won his arm wrestling from a distance against the Merengue. In the end, it was only a battle that was won by the Parisian team, not the war. And for good reason, at the present time, Kylian Mbappé is heading straight for a free start after honoring the last year of his contract. Parisian management will therefore have to redouble their efforts over the next few months so that he finally agrees to initial a new lease. This is clearly not going to be easy since the Cadena SER adds that Kylian Mbappé remains convinced that his future will depend on an adventure in real Madrid. In addition, we announced to you on le10sport.com last week that the arrival of Leo messi does not in any way lead the French to change his mind. For now, the former player of theAS Monaco simply does not agree to sign a new engagement with the club in his hometown. The sports guarantees claimed are there, perhaps it is now to the leaders of the PSG to show him that they consider him as an element as important as Neymar and Lionel messi as suggested The team in its Saturday edition. It remains to be seen how the long exchanges to come will evolve.
