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 June 14
After the extension at the end of the suspense last year and these images of a radiant Kylian Mbappé with a Paris Saint-Germain jersey flocked “2025”, we thought that the Mbappometer would remain in the drawers this summer. Nay… The letter sent Monday by the French striker to his employers joined the famous Burofax sent in August 2020 by Lionel Messi to the leaders of Barça in the epistolary legend of football.
The 2018 world champion does not intend to activate the additional year of a contract which therefore ends in 2024, but he assures that he wants to honor his last season in Paris, as the most literary of French sportsmen recalled in a press release sent Tuesday to AFP, before confirming it in an interview published on Wednesday by the Gazzetta dello Sport. “With PSG, we never discussed an extension, but I’m happy to stay here next season,” he said in the Italian daily.
In other words, I win one last title of champion of France, I knock out my direction without seeming to touch it after another early elimination in the Champions League, and I leave.
Credibility: 40%. Since Monday, the Parisian leaders have recalled their new doctrine, put into practice with the departure of Messi and the small pressures on Neymar so that he goes to discover another infirmary: the collective comes before individualities. Suffice to say that they do not intend to obey the “mbappesque” diktat, and that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has no intention of letting his best player go free in a year, especially to strengthen a rival chaired by Florentino Perez with whom relations are icy. Yes, but here it is: this is a theory, and seeing PSG eat their hat would be anything but a surprise given QSI’s history since taking power in 2011.
Mbappometer: We tilt the needle slightly towards the president of Real. Because Kyky the versatile can very well explain in three days to brand that finally, given the evolution of the file, he would see himself joining Camavinga and Tchouameni this summer.
