Mbappé: 48 hour limit

The outcome of the Mbappé case is fast approaching. Real Madrid has increased the pressure on PSG with a new offer (170 million fixed euros plus another 10 million in bonuses) and the intention that the transfer is consumed before Sunday. PSG is also interested in ending, in one sense or another, the situation of its star. On Sunday at 8:45 p.m. the Parisian team plays in Reims and by then they will have had to make a decision. If there is a photo of Mbappé, Messi and Neymar together, it seems impossible for PSG to agree to 'break' that image in the following days. PSG and its Qatari ownership move in terms of image (the 2022 World Cup is always on their mind) and dismantling the scenery of that trident of world impact would be a sign of weakness. Something that in PSG is a sin.

The intention in the noble floor of Chamartín is that, if perhaps not formalized, There may be a verbal agreement in the absence of the multiple details of a transfer contract being finalized on Monday or Tuesday of these characteristics. That Mbappé does not play in Reims as his own teammates expect and then (already in the national team) finish defining the fine print.

The deadlines, however, do not obey the usual times that Real Madrid is used to dealing with. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is a supporter of the iron fist and in that line he manifested himself after the Champions League draw in Istanbul, but his boss and owner of PSG, The Emir of Qatar, maintains a friendly relationship with Florentino Pérez derived from his private business. The answer to this last proposal will come from the Emir and may be immediate … or not.

The right steps

Moreover, from the media environment of PSG has been trying to 'cool' as much as possible the information that originates in Spain. Al-Khelaïfi wants it that way, but his decision-making capacity is quite limited. Madrid has taken the appropriate step not to snub Qatari property. With These € 170M + € 10M save the international image of the Parisian entity, which receives what it paid for Mbappé four years ago, Mbappé and Madrid get what they want and most importantly, nobody is left as a loser.

That is the operation of the signing, it remains how to present it to the world. No hurry. Madrid has been developing different presentation models depending on how the Bernabéu's work is at that time. The work date to show the world Mbappé dressed in white is September 10 and with a bib with mythological reminiscences.
