‘Kylian Mbappe’s comments reassure that all parties are protected amid Real Madrid speculation’
Introduction to the article:
The future of Kylian Mbappe is uncertain, with Real Madrid keen on signing the Paris Saint-Germain forward, and the player himself yet to make a decision.
‘All parties are protected’
Kylian Mbappe’s statement about ‘All parties being protected’ has caused speculation in the football world, particularly in Madrid. It has raised questions about the French star’s intentions and has left Real Madrid feeling that Mbappe will have to play by their rules in order for them to sign him.
Agreement with PSG
According to Diario AS, Mbappe’s statement refers to an agreement with PSG regarding his signing on bonus. The club is facing financial fair play struggles, which could be significantly impacted if Mbappe had left on a free. PSG’s CEO, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, was eager to lock him into a new deal, even if it meant inserting a release clause.
Financial implications
The agreement Mbappe has with PSG leaves the situation open. If he does not sign a new deal with PSG, he will pardon €80m in a signing bonus, easing the club’s financial struggles. This puts pressure on PSG to renew his deal without moving aggressively to pressure him, as they risk losing out on the money should he head to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid’s ultimatum
Reports suggest that Real Madrid has given Mbappe a deadline to accept their deal. This puts Mbappe in a tricky situation, as it would not be easy for him to keep it a secret. If he signs with Real Madrid, it could lead to a backlash from PSG fans and disrupt their chances of success. On the other hand, testing Real Madrid’s patience risks them pulling out of the deal.
