On May 21, Paris Saint-Germain announced the end of Kylian MbappΓ©’s tenure. The 23-year-old superstar has agreed to sign a new contract until 2025 and become the “king” of the team in the French capital.
Kylian Mbappe appears to have made a verbal deal with Real Madrid. He posed smiling with Nasser Al-Khelaifi after the agreement was announced.
βThis is my house, I always said so. I am staying at Paris Saint-Germain so we can win titles together,β were the first words of the 23-year-old striker after the contract extension. Mbappe has become the highest paid footballer in the world with an annual income of $128 million plus a signing bonus.

At the same time, he was granted legendary privileges for a football player. According to what has seen the light, Mbappe has a say in the club’s transfers, in the choice of coach and technical director.
Kylian MbappΓ©’s stay at Paris Saint-Germain was seen as a French national issue. Nicolas Sarkozy and Emmanuel Macron directly appealed to the player with a request to stay in the team.
βI never thought I would be able to talk to the president about my future and my career. It was something crazy. He told me, βI want you to stay. I do not want you to leave. You are important to the country.” When the president says something like that, it means a lot,β MbappΓ© told the New York Times.
The choice of Luis Campos, with whom they coexisted in Monaco, should not be considered a mere coincidence. The Portuguese was hired as a transfer consultant. Immediately after reports of the departure of Mbappe, rumors appeared about the departure of the 58-year-old agent.
The departures of Di Maria, Paredes, Icardi, Rafinha and Ander Herrera cannot be considered a mere coincidence. Mbappe was also ordered, according to Equipe, that Neymar would retire from the team, that Robert Lewandowski would be brought in to play on the wing.

The Frenchman felt “betrayed” by the club after not meeting all of his wishes. βI was wrong when I renewed the contract,β a person close to him reportedly admitted.
Somehow Marca’s article about the dissatisfaction of the French superstar came across. Mbappe was reportedly asked to leave the club in January. Real Madrid remains his big dream. He eventually admitted it himself in an interview with the New York Times.
βYou never know what will happen in the future,β MbappΓ© said. The Frenchman said at the time that he wanted to win the Champions League, another World Cup with France, and also qualify for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Is that the relationship of the leadership of the French team with Florentino Perez no. “You can go to any team except Real Madrid,” the club’s owners told Mbappe. Leaks within the club speak of financial claims in the order of 400 million euros.
It is unlikely that any team will be able to cover this amount. Clearly, Paris is trying to buy time for you to absorb the “shock” of the Kylian Mbappe case.

The Frenchman is now developing into a spoiled and selfish superstar who, because he has not been flattered, has crossed his legs and demands that he be transferred to another team. In the history of the sport, no football player has joined more than one club.
βNo one likes to be exposed to something they are not good at. He doesn’t like it, that’s all. But there is something more than everything else. And this is a club. But did they make him feel like the club was more important than anything? Or did they make him feel more important than the club? I will tell my own story. When I was at Barcelona, ββI didn’t like playing on the wings. I hated it. But I had to do it for the team. And I didn’t hear anyone say, Oh, what a nice gesture. Play on the left, for others who have had fewer international matches and goals than me. After all, there is only one rule. If the coach asks you to do something, you do it for the benefit of the team. And the team wins! If the team lost, it would be another reason for discussion, βone of the best strikers in French football, Thierry Henry, said about Mbappe.
Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain have committed football mayhem by giving the Frenchman unprecedented privileges for a footballer. Then comes Nemesis.
