The “Kyks” king of com. We like it or we don’t like it, but in the art of passive/aggressive communication, Kylian Mbappé is undoubtedly the final boss. While all of Spain is in PLS waiting to find out if Bondy’s TGV will indeed join Real Madrid this summer, the guy is sending us a little tweet from behind the bundles with the calendar for the next League season. 1.
While PSG asked him to clarify the situation as soon as possible – basically: you leave now or you extend with us – Mbappé makes it clear that he has no intention of leaving this summer and to sit on the juicy loyalty bonus of 80 million euros that he will receive at the end of next season if he stays in Paris.
Credibility: GBDNEVA£¨NCCZ¨HVAZD%. If we stick to what he has been repeating in public for several weeks, Kyky seems determined to honor his last year of contract with PSG, before quietly making his way to Madrid-Barajas, all of this, for Paris, without going through square one or touching the euros. But we can also see this exit as a nice push for PSG to officially open negotiations with the Merengues, the Spanish media having cleverly brought out a post from the Kyks in the Monegasque locker room in 2017, seeming to say “I stay friends”, a few days before landing in Paris. Place your bets…
Mbappometer: Here, it is always difficult to see how this story can end other than by leaving for La Liga before the end of the transfer window. Problem, for PSG, time is against him and not against Mbappé or Real, they have every interest in dragging things out in order to arrive in a position of strength once the negotiations are open. Nevertheless, the projection of the Parisian on the next season of L1 forces us to put the needle of the Mbappometer back into balance.
