A hypothetical departure of Zidane from Real Madrid due to poor results before the summer arrives would not affect the Mbappé operation (21) that Real Madrid has underway for next summer. As AS has learned from sources close to the player, the forward has not conditioned his signing for Real Madrid to whether or not the French coach follows at the club. Mbappé is the cornerstone of the next future project of the white entity, the reason why it is the only great team in Europe that has not signed this summer and the man who must lead Madrid in this new era in which he will be able to play in the remodeled stadium.
Either way, it is not a secret that Zidane has been decisive in which Mbappé has made the decision not to renew with PSG. The Parisian adores Zidane. The now Madrid coach is the standard of that generation of players with origins in the colonies, in the French miscegenation, who raised the World Cup and the Eurocup in the late nineties and early this millennium. An example to follow…
There have been several times that Mbappé has praised Zidane himself: “My first idol was Zidane for everything he achieved with the National Team. Then it was Cristiano. He has won a lot and is still a winner after so much success. Both have left their mark on the history of football and I want to leave my own chapter in the books, “Mbappé said in May in the Daily Mirror. With regard to Cristiano, it is also notorious that the now PSG attacker had the room of his residence at the Monaco academy full of posters of the Portuguese wearing the Madrid shirt.
Mbappé ends the contract with PSG in June 2022 and, to date, has resisted the attacks of the Parisian entity to force him to sign an extension of his contractual relationship. Next summer, therefore, if the situation continues like this, he will be able to go out at a reasonable price for a player of his caliber. Something similar to what happened with Hazard, whom Madrid signed for 100 million plus 40 in variables when he still only had one year left at Chelsea … PSG paid 180 million for him when he was only 18 years old.
But Mbappé's purpose of playing for Madrid transcends any proper name. The forward is convinced that he will give him the definitive notoriety to win his long-awaited Ballon d'Or. He is running a very high risk by holding out without renewing his contract with PSG, even in the face of the threat of the investment fund owned by the state of Qatar that owns the club to leave him a whole season without playing before selling it in the summer of 2021. AS also advanced an exit that raises the player's environment to that situation, renew, but with a proMadrid clause. Its future will be decided in the coming months.
