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.
Wednesday August 16
Hallelujah, everything is going well for Kylian Mbappé and PSG. The temperamental star was reinstated in Luis Enrique’s group on Sunday, the day after a sad 0-0 draw against Lorient, and the “legend” Neymar set sail for the petrodollars of Saudi Arabia for the Assumption. But like us, you feel that all this rings false. By dint of reversals of situation, everyone even begins to doubt the word of “Kyky”, from Paris to Madrid via the France team. In any case, this is what the Spanish daily tells us this Wednesday Report. Nobody would be able to know where Mbappé will play next year, as he is able to change his mind overnight.
The sports press no longer knows where to turn. “All scenarios and all possibilities are open. That of renewal and that of sale. Paris Saint-Germain does not exclude this option,” explains Spanish journalist Ramon Alvarez on his YouTube channel. On the side of the show El Chiringuito, we lean more towards an extension of Mbappé at PSG this summer: “I am told that Mbappé would be ready to extend. He could prove it publicly alongside Al-Khelaifi,” said journalist Edu Aguirre.
Faced with these procrastination, it is Real Madrid, lurking in the shadows, who could finally emerge victorious from this fight in the last round. According to the Madrid media Defense Central, PSG, which does not believe either Mbappé or Real on his leaks of a finished transfer window, even expects to receive an offer from Merengue for the international striker. This could, according to the same source, intervene during the last week of the transfer market, when PSG will be back to the wall with its star. Which takes us to two weeks. The needles of our Mbappometer still have time to panic in one direction or the other, like this Wednesday.
Credibility: 50%. In this game of cat and mouse between the three parties, it is difficult to disentangle the true from the false, especially when we know the importance taken by Mbappé over the past few months, even more since his extension last summer. A last-minute offer from Real Madrid is therefore entirely possible, even if an extension from Mbappé to Paris is almost as possible. No, you don’t get too wet, but with Mbappé, it’s better to get your neck wet every day, rather than diving all at once.
Mbappometer: With all this contradictory information, the needle of our Mbappometer therefore no longer knows where to turn. Until Sunday again, we did not see how Mbappé could stay at PSG for another season. But if even the club starts to play weathervane like its player, reading this file becomes even more complicated. We especially know the cunning of Real Madrid, which will not hesitate for a second to checkmate at the expense of PSG during the very last hours of this transfer window 2023. wait and see.
