Mbappé, utopian renewal

The renewal of Kylian Mbappé is, at the moment, a utopian question. While PSG tries to strengthen ties with the player to renew him, the French international just wants to finish the season in the best possible way before leaving the Parisian team. His decision not to renew was already communicated to the club in August and nothing has changed since then.

As AS has learned, Bondy’s talent is solely focused on winning the Champions League with PSG. The future of the tie against Real Madrid will not influence his final decision, as confirmed by the player himself in an interview with Movistar Plus+ after the first leg at the Parque de los Príncipes. If PSG goes to the quarterfinals and eliminates Real Madrid, it will not mean, at all, that the French international is going to renew with the Parisians.

However, PSG continues to convey optimism and confidence regarding Mbappé’s future. In Paris they believe that the Champions League tie can open their eyes to renew and, although negotiations continue with the environment, the one who decides is the player. Neither his father, nor his mother, nor his lawyer, even if they have influence on Mbappé, can make such a decision and that is why the crack of PSG, who has not accepted any of the latest offers that have been put on the table, will announce at the end of the season that he wants to take a new step in his careerthat is, go to Real Madrid.

Gentlemen’s agreement with Florentino Pérez

In addition to the difficulty in its renewal, Kylian Mbappé has a “gentleman’s agreement” with Florentino Pérez. As Pablo Gallego advanced from the French media The Journal of Real and has been able to confirm AS, the striker gave his word to the president of Real Madrid to sign for the whites next June. The relationship between the two is fluid and breaking that commitment would mean, although to a lesser extent, a kind of betrayal by the PSG striker.

The verbal agreement between both parties practically brings Mbappé closer to Real Madrid. The striker does not want to give clues at the moment regarding his future because he weighs professionalism above anything else. The last thing the player wants is to harm PSG and he only has between eyebrows to succeed with the Parisian team this season. A hypothetical elimination of Pochettino’s men in the round of 16 of the Champions League would put, even more, the media focus on the final decision of the former Monaco player. Key weeks are ahead, but the reality is that the renewal of Mbappé is, right now, a utopia.
