Mbappé has the floor

Kylian Mbappé shot down all the doubts that had been generated against him at the Camp Nou after a rather irregular start to the season. The French international scored a hat-trick in one of the temples of world football and assumed the responsibilities that he had asked PSG back in 2019 to be one of the banners of the project.

The departure of Mbappé from Paris will not be easy. First of all, the player is still waiting for Real Madrid, but the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus puts him in a complicated situation. The contract with PSG ends in 2022, but the Parisian team has already offered an irrefutable renewal offer and Real Madrid still does not move. Nonetheless, the attacker of the current European runner-up continues to rethink his future and will not make a decision until the end of the season.

“The PSG shirt is one that I cherish in my heart. My future? It would be stupid to decide my future in just one game. The truth is that it is about long-term reflection. I have always said that I am happy here”, Mbappé said when asked about his future.What is clear from these statements is that the French international still does not know where he will play next season.

PSG, for the moment, is calm with the situation of the flagship of the project with permission from Neymar. After its exhibition on Tuesday at the Camp Nou, its value has increased considerably and, although it does not renew, the Parisians will ask for a figure that ranges between 180 and 200 million euros. Leonardo's first priority is to renew Neymar, but immediately afterwards his goal is to extend Mbappé's contract.

Actually, The former Monaco player receives € 30 million net per season. A figure that is practically unaffordable for most European clubs. Thus, Al-Khelaïfi, who was key to the forward deciding to play for PSG in 2017, is not nervous about his situation. He considers that, sooner or later, Mbappé will say yes to PSG and extend his link with the capital's team until 2026 as Neymar.

The next months are anticipated as decisive to determine the future of Mbappé. The player does not currently think about his future, but Real Madrid lurks and whenever the issues of his future are discussed he tries to avoid them for fear of being forceful in his statements. One of the premises that he had raised to renew was that PSG assured him a competitive project to win the Champions League, something that seems to be being fulfilled after last year's final and 1-4 against Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
