Mbappé prefers to wait

The match of the eighth of the Champions League between Real Madrid and PSG has disrupted the plans of the white entity with Mbappé, who turns 23 today. And those of the player himself. As AS has learned from sources close to the star, these days he and his family are debating the need to wait to make any future movement until the return of said eighths is not disputed. With the tie resolved, he would have a free pass to sign with Madrid, a decision you’ve made for a long time.

The problem with signing his new contract at the beginning of the year, in the player’s opinion, is that a possible leak would leave him at the feet of the horses with the two hobbies involved. If he had a bad tie with PSG, the Paris fans could create a very difficult environment for him for the remainder of the season. In the event that he had a stellar performance, it would be those of Madrid who could regret that he had left his new team out of the competition.

For Mbappé it is still a risk to extend the moment when he signs with Madrid. He has already decided to run that danger half of this season after PSG did not accept the successive offers made by Madrid in extremis last summer. In this way, a major injury could have deprived him of his new super contract with the white entity. It happened to Valdés with Monaco. Waiting for the round of 16 tie to be played does not cease to lengthen that uncertainty. But that is the option that, today, is weighing the most for him and his family.

Either way, PSG begins to give it up for lost. This is what emerges from the latest statements made by Leonardo: “I cannot assure you that it will stay. What to say about Mbappé. Kylian is formidable. It is different, unique. Well, you know what we want … But we’ll see. We can say that there was a moment when we discussed with more enthusiasm (its renewal) ”, he said at a recent event at the Sorbonne.

As reported by AS, in Real Madrid, as in the Mbappé environment, it is also considered to be cautious and leave the secret signature (out of respect for PSG, it will never be made public the signing until the end of the season) for after 9-M.
