Mbappé does not leave the script. The still PSG player advanced that there will be news about his future next week. On Saturday he will play his last match at the Parc des Princes, against Metz, and from then on he could communicate what is already an open secret: that it will not continue in Paris. The following, the announcement of his signing for Real Madrid, will take a little longer. The white club does not want anything or anyone to interfere with the immediate goal: the European Cup final, against Liverpool, on Saturday 28.
The Mbappe’s intention is to announce the end of his relationship with PSG “before going to France for the UEFA Nations League qualifiers”. He also commented that he feels “a lot of pressure” to reveal the decision about his future, but noted that he must “respect all parties. Some details are missing, but my decision is almost made and I will communicate it soon.”. The French coach, Deschamps, has summoned his international team to the Fernand Sastre Technical Center, known as Clairefontaine, precisely on the 28th. The idea is to get together to watch the Champions League final together. In the days before, Mbappé should announce the end of his relationship with PSG, but still without revealing his destination, which will most likely be Real Madrid.
In Concha Espina the norm dictates that there is no talk of signings, renewals, registrations and cancellations until the season is over. The work is done both with Mbappé and with everyone else. But there is no rush to announce anything ahead of time, much less in the most important week for the club throughout the season, the week of the Champions League final. Therefore, beyond the fact that Mbappé is burning stages, in Madrid there will be no official statement even until July 1the day after Mbappé’s contract with PSG will end.
Commitment
What really matters in the club is the commitment made by Kylian Mbappé, who has remained firm in his commitment to Real Madrid despite the intensity of the pressure received. The Emir of Qatar, who precisely this Tuesday begins a two-day state visit to Spain, asked the president of France, Macron, and the former president, Sarkozy, to help him convince the footballer not to leave PSG, club owned by the Arab country, at least until after the 2022 World Cup. But their efforts were in vain. Mbappé never yielded and remained firm in his idea of playing for Real Madrid. As in the visit of Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, a series of meetings with Spanish businessmen it is not ruled out that there is an approach to Florentino Pérezbut it is not contemplated that in these conversations, exclusively business, the signing of Mbappé will come up.
Meanwhile, figures and data of the player’s alleged contract with Madrid are coming out all over the world. It speaks of a commitment that oscillates between four and six seasonsof a hundred million signing bonus (Madrid offered 180 million last summer that PSG rejected) and a tab of between 40 and 60 million per year. It’s all approximations, but no data has been confirmed by neither party. Yes, it can be suspected that Mbappé will be the highest paid player in the history of Real Madrid and, also, that it will have a termination clause never seen before in world football.
