Real Madrid will have a clear path to sign Mbappé, if it deems appropriate, when he becomes a free agent on June 30th. According to AS, PSG has ruled out, as of today, making an offer to renew the French star. It is in no hurry and its only intention is for Mbappé to fulfill his agreement and activate the clause that extends his contract for one more year in Paris, until 2025. “It is impossible to pay him more,” they admit ‘off the record’ from within the club to this newspaper, in reference to the spectacular conditions enjoyed by the striker. It will be later, with calm, when PSG activates the renewal of the footballer.
However, PSG still wants Mbappé to stay in Paris in order to build a short-term future project around him. To convince the star to activate the clause to continue for one more year, it will use a sporting argument. Mbappé was uncomfortable in the Parisian team in recent years because he wanted to play where Neymar did, on the left, and the Brazilian always had more weight than him in the institution (for a matter of marketing and economic return) and made it prevail. Now that he has gotten rid of this problem with Neymar’s departure, the leaders will tell the star, “you are going to go to a place where you will have the same problem with Vinicius.” Moreover, these sources from PSG point out to AS, contrary to what is being said, Mbappé is going through a sweet moment at the Parisian entity: “He seems really happy.”
In Real Madrid, there is a tense calm waiting for events to unfold. As it has always done, it respects the FIFA regulations and will not make a move until January 1st, when the Regulations of the body already allow Mbappé to negotiate with the club he wants. For its part, Real Madrid is favored by PSG’s intention not to make an offer to renew, since it will not have to compete with a state-owned club and its millionaire proposals, only convince Mbappé with a good sporting project and reaching economically as far as it can. Pedrerol revealed in the chiringuito that he will have a salary of 35 million euros.
On the other hand, they also point out to this newspaper from Paris, Mbappé always carried out his negotiations until the last moment: it was like that when, at the age of 14, he decided to go to Monaco with the help of Luis Campos, his greatest supporter now in Paris. Also when he signed with PSG and when he renewed just a season ago. Therefore, it is going to be a long time.
After the tense moments that Mbappé went through at PSG in the summer, when Al Khelaïfi got tough with him, normality around the star has been resumed. In the summer, Al Khelaïfi went so far as to assure that Mbappé would not leave “without leaving money in the box.” PSG even went into action by preventing him from traveling on the Asian tour with the team, as a measure of force to make him execute the clause that extends his contract for one more year, until 2025, or to present a millionaire offer for him from another club. But never to sign a new contract. Now, according to these internal sources of PSG, the position has not moved one iota. There is no intention of offering a new contract to Mbappé, but for him to fulfill what was agreed in the last renewal. Fewer obstacles for Madrid.
The white entity continues to be in a privileged position in terms of its short-term strategy. Vinicius has exploded, has found a franchise player with Bellingham and has an alternative to Mbappé, which is Haaland. In any case, it has a clear path to convince the Frenchman.
