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.
Saturday August 5
Definitely, this saga looks more and more like a remake of Discord, the film by Claude Zidi with Louis de Funès and Annie Girardot, which would be directed by Fabien Onteniente. Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappé seem irreconcilable, and it’s not the club’s latest decision that will fix things.
According to RMC Sport, the star striker, who refuses to extend a contract which expires in June 2024 but repeats that he wants to end his lease at PSG (before going to Real Madrid), will continue to train with the “loft” next week. Already dismissed during the Asian tour, Kyky should therefore continue his stay in purgatory (golden), alongside the tricards (Draxler, Diallo, Wijnaldum…). His participation in the first Ligue 1 match, next Saturday against Lorient, would not be decided, but it is hard to imagine Nasser Al-Khelaïfi allowing the tenure of an element he absolutely does not want to see go free in a year.
Arrived in the Parisian bazaar just a month ago, Luis Enrique is very annoyed at not being able to rely on his best player, while Luis Campos, who has already been more influential at PSG, is trying to play the peacekeepers. Meanwhile, Florentino Perez smokes a pipe in Madrid.
Credibility: 90%. Given that the situation has absolutely not changed for ages, and that Mbappé has rebuffed all his suitors other than Real, we do not see how he would return to training with the group as if nothing had happened.
Mbappometer: What do you want us to tell you? Once again, everything is blocked as long as nothing moves on the side of the Spanish capital.
