PSG is attacking with all its financial artillery at its disposal to double Kylian Mbappé’s willingness to agree to renew his contract, which ends on June 30. As AS learned, from Qatar they have given the green light to a mega-offer that for a week has been on the table of the French star’s parents, who are the ones who handle the legal affairs of the Parisian star. Specific, PSG has offered Mbappé a signing bonus of 200 million euros gross (100 net!), as a thank you for his loyalty to the club for continuing instead of going to Real Madrid for free, as well as a contract that goes between two and three seasons, with a variant that turns between 50 and 53 million net per season. In addition, at the end of that second year of the contract, in 2024, there would be a release clause so that Mbappé could negotiate his departure if both parties agreed. And if that was not enough, They have guaranteed the player that in the summer of 2024 he will be able to play with France in August the Olympic Games in Paris, one of Kylian’s great wishes already publicly confessed considering that “the Olympic experience must be unique and I want to enjoy it after having already won a World Cup with France”.
Mbappé’s mother, Fayza Lamari, is the most receptive to the siren songs that reach her from Qatar. In fact, he had a meeting with Al-Khelaïfi about it after PSG’s 7th first leg game against Madrid at the Parc des Princes. Fayza does not see with bad eyes a short-term renewal that leaves the doors open to a signing for Madrid within two seasons, but the will of the player continues to be unshakable and the great endorsement of Madrid to convey the favorite word of both Florentino and his directors when someone approaches them asking about the future signing of Mbappé: “Calm down”. In addition, in Madrid they are clear that the signing of Mbappé is “now or never”.
It is true that Kylian seemed ambiguous when asked last weekend about the possibility of becoming PSG’s all-time top scorer after catching up with Ibrahomovic and only having Cavani ahead (the Uruguayan leads him by 46 goals). “It has always been my goal to leave a mark on people’s memories. Only Cavani is ahead of me, let’s see what happens…”. But sources from the white club consulted by AS made it clear that the boy once again resorted to his emotional and strategic intelligence so as not to take any false steps: “Kylian couldn’t say that that record was out of his reach because then it would be admitting that in June he was leaving Paris for Madrid. He said what he had to say and that’s why we remain very calm with the boy’s will.”
Therefore, we can only wait for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 to pass at the Bernabéu, given that PSG’s pressure on Mbappé will be brutal until that day. The outcome of the tie will not influence the expected outcome. Kylian himself has repeated it several times: “My decision does not depend on what happens in these two games.” He wants to have an honorable exit from Paris after five years of brilliant service and he won’t say anything that could poison that. But his idea and his roadmap have not changed. He wants to play at the Bernabéu from next season and that’s how it will be. As much as from Qatar they add tempting zeros to the player’s environment.
