Leonardo showed his doubts about the renewal of Kylian Mbappé in a most remarkable stage. The Parisian sports director attended a few days ago to give a talk on sports management at the Sorbonne University and, given the topic of the colloquium, They asked him about the hottest and most current operation: the renewal or not of Kylian Mbappé at Paris Saint-Germain.
“What to say about Mbappé. Kylian is formidable. He is different, unique. Well, you know what we want … We’ll see,” he said in a distant speech about the certainties he had about Bondy’s striker in previous times, although close.
The PSG environment begins to show signs of impatience for a firm that does not arrive. The absence of Kylian’s signature on a new contract with the Parisians has put Leonardo under the spotlight and criticism. After a summer in which the massive signing of the best free agents that the market offered (Messi, Donnarumma, Wijnaldum, Ramos …) raised him, the renewal of Mbappé is costing him criticism.
The latest to join them has been Jerome Rothen, former Monaco and PSG player among others and now an analyst at RMC Sport. It was precisely in this medium that he pointed to the Brazilian. “He (Leonardo) He says what he wants to tell, he takes us for idiots … If there is someone who is in a bad situation to talk about Kylian Mbappé, it is him. He is the one who spent more than a year having a tense relationship with Mbappé and his clan. For a player who wants to renew, that leaves much to be desired, “he explained about the Brazilian’s way of acting and how this has conditioned the possible decisions of the French forward.
The former international for France also criticized Leonardo’s use of his public interventions to try to save his image and not to be transparent with the PSG fans. “Instead of selling us dreams and trying to restore your image, tell us about the things that really bother us and be a bit sincere with people, because today you are unmasked (…). He lacks sincerity about Mbappé, “he said.
In the latest information from France, L’Equipe assured that the negotiations for a possible renewal of Mbappé are not progressing and the future of the season in the Parc des Princes is not causing the Frenchman to change his mind and end up signing. They assure that there is little internal optimism about the permanence of the ‘7’, free to negotiate with whoever wants to play next season from next January 1, 2022.
A pairing that delays your signing
Although his teammates wait and even press for the renewal with jokes taking advantage of his birthday (they gave him a PSG shirt with his name and the year 2050), Kylian Mbappé has decided to sign for Real Madrid.
The Frenchman played his role this summer to attempt the transfer to which PSG flatly refused. Now, Kylian is convinced to arrive at the Bernabéu as a free agent, although the luck of the second and final round of 16 draw has caused the deadlines to change.
As reported by AS, the player himself and his family were considering waiting to make any future move until the round of 16 tie between PSG and Real Madrid has finished. Although he is free to trade from January 1, 2022, he will wait to try to do everything at the right time. AS could also know that Real Madrid estimates this measure and values being cautious leaving the secret signature until after March 9, when it is known if Real Madrid or Mbappé with PSG is the one who is in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the one that aims to be the last tie that they play separately from each other.
