Anne Hidalgo would like to “keep him in Paris”, but Kylian Mbappé seems increasingly close to leaving. The case has grown in recent hours. Paris Saint-Germain no longer hides its intention to sell the striker, who does not intend to extend. Some clubs have already taken action. The Parisian management has accepted an offer from Al-Hilal, which rises to 300 million euros. Not too bad for a player who only has one year left on his contract, although the Saudis will probably find it more difficult to agree with KM7, despite an offer of 400 million euros in wages over two years.
The captain of the Blues has ambitions that seal his near future in Europe. Precisely, “Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Inter and Barça have all taken information from Nasser Al-Khelaïfi” in the last 48 hours, informs The Team. The Blues and the Red Devils have slipped that they will “go no further”, but their counterparts “see a possibility of having Mbappé on loan for a year, while paying a sum large enough to convince PSG”. FC Barcelona would even consider adding players to the balance to limit the financial shock wave according to the daily.
“Several clubs are showing creativity and offering formulas including a top-level player in the balance plus a transfer, specifies a source close to the negotiations to AFP. This opens the market to more clubs. “Real Madrid obviously remains on the lookout, but the White House would rather have the idea of waiting for the end of the transfer window, when Paris Saint-Germain would find themselves back to the wall, to recruit the player at a lower price. “Real and PSG do not speak to each other directly, but at least one intermediary has been mandated to try to take the temperature with the three parties”, explains The Team.
Credibility: 50%. Obviously, when a door opens for a player of the caliber of Kylian Mbappé, we come to find out, just in case. From there to going further? We still have big doubts about the possibility of seeing the Bondy prodigy end up at Tottenham…
Mbappometer: 60%. The message is clear from the PSG side: are you interested? Can we talk ! Out of the question to leave his star without receiving compensation. Maybe Mbappé will eventually get tired and give in by agreeing to leave this summer. Or not, if we are to believe his entourage.
