And here we go again my Kyky. Every day (or almost), 20 Minutes takes stock of the latest advances and rumors more or less based on the future of Kylian Mbappé, whose relations with PSG follow the inverse curve of global warming. Departure to Real Madrid this summer or not? Spread the word, the Mbappometer is back.
Friday June 16
Day 3, and the soap opera, which promises to be longer than the longest soap opera you know, is marking time a little bit in terms of fresh news, except to consider that we must give importance to Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, when he says he thinks “Mbappé will leave PSG this summer”. He doesn’t give a damn, and neither do we. On the other hand, what we can tell you is that our Spanish colleagues moderately appreciated Kylian’s press conference before Gibraltar-France, and this mania of not giving up on form or explaining anything on substance: ” I accept everything, people can talk, criticize, be misunderstood. They don’t have all the ins and outs of this case. Too bad for them. I know why I do what I do. »
Especially by comparing this intervention with that Jude Bellingham, presented a few hours earlier by Real Madrid. The Englishman wowed everyone with the words – “Coming back to the Premier League would have been easier, but the money wasn’t the most important thing, I like what comes out of this club, and I wanted to come here – and by his actions, by choosing to take over the number 5 of Zizou, of which he was a fan. A declaration of love very different from the (too?) Calculated outings of Mbappé, who stubbornly refuses to talk about Real Madrid. “The price to pay for having Mbappé”thus titles the editorial of brand this day. “No one knows the business of football better than him. But his behavior demonstrates every day that the price to have him in his team can be very heavy for supporters. We’re not just talking about money. »
Credibility : 30 %. Obviously, we understand a form of nervousness on the other side of the Pyrenees, where we would like Kyky to clarify his intentions once and for all, rather than publicly snub Real while, it seems, negotiating under -main its arrival in the coming months. But all that will be forgotten from his first hat-trick at the Bernabeu, we know the Madrid weathervanes.
Mbappometer : Today, it is very difficult to decide. Mbappé claims he wants to stay even if it means hiding in a bunker to complete his last year of contract at the club, and PSG always leaks that the extension or the sale. Until when ?
