While he seemed very close to signing with Real Madrid at the end of last season, Kylian Mbappé had finally decided otherwise. “I am very happy to continue the adventure, to stay here in France in my city. I always said that Paris was my home. I hope I will continue doing what I love the most: playing football and continuing to win trophies with all of you. The 2018 world champion then spoke. At that time, the joy of the Parisian supporters contrasted with the spite of the Madrid leaders, a great victory for the Parisian board against its Spanish counterparts.
Since then, the Bondynois has achieved very interesting performances, his statistics testify (nine achievements in seven games in all competitions), but his behavior has often tended to annoy, on and off the field. Especially since several black dots darken the picture. With his teammates, all is not rosy at the moment. After the controversy over the “penaltygate”, a new video has made the rounds of social networks. We see Mbappé attacking Achraf Hakimi, reproaching him for not having given him the ball, in a certain tone. In addition to the various tensions that exist with his PSG teammates, a detail of his contract is added to the other files to be managed for the Parisian sports management.
Bis repetita at the end of the season?
Initially announced until 2025, Kylian Mbappé’s new contract actually stretches over two years, with an optional additional year. And the PSG does not have the hand on the latter. A very important contractual detail was not mentioned when the Bondynois extended. Indeed, according to an internal source relayed by The Team : “this last year is at the discretion of Kylian Mbappé.” If we dwell on this situation, it is ultimately anything but abnormal. The French striker wanted to renew his lease with PSG but with a short contract at stake, so as not to find himself “locked up” again. Conversely, the Parisian leaders preferred, for their part, to leave on a long-term contract in order to keep the 23-year-old player as long as possible.
The question of the duration of the KM9 contract was therefore at the center of the negotiations and this compromise was then found. Race results? Paris Saint-Germain will have to look into a possible extension of the Habs faster than expected. Otherwise the Parisian club risks finding itself in the same situation as the one it experienced last year. A very hot issue in perspective…
