The future of Kylian Mbappé is a topic on Saturday, as many expect the Frenchman to leave when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires. The 25-year-old will reportedly be on his way to Real Madrid this summer and begin a new venture.
PSG manager Luis Enrique stated his desire for the winger to stay with his hometown club past this season. The Spanish manager’s remarks made some people wonder whether there’s any new development.
Nonetheless, L’Equipe recently reported (h/t Bernabéu Digital) the decision-making process that led to the reported choice to leave the French capital and head to Real Madrid.
According to the French media outlet, Nasser Al-Khelaifi has failed to fulfill promises made when they renewed Mbappé’s contract in the summer of 2022. As a result, the PSG president bears significant responsibility for the forward’s decision to leave. Particularly, the spotlight is on poor sporting planning.
Although anything is possible in the transfer market, all indications suggest that Mbappé is likely to leave. If the capital club manages to win the treble this season, it will likely feel more like a farewell gesture rather than something that would persuade him to stay.
