He is a luxury lofter who continues to train at the new PSG training center while his teammates have left for Asia for the summer tour. For a week, Kylian Mbappé has been continuing his preparation with the other undesirables of the capital club, while waiting to find a way out for his future.

For his management, the dilemma is still the same one month from the end of the transfer window: the 2018 world champion must extend his contract or leave this summer.

Nasser al-Khelaïfi does not want to see a player estimated at more than 100 million euros go free, but for the moment both parties are sticking to their guns. The president had not hidden his disappointment in the columns of Le Parisien in early July:

“We want him to stay, but he can’t leave for free. It was our oral agreement and he had expressed it publicly in an interview. So it’s not debatable. And I was really shocked to learn that he intended to leave for free. It’s very disappointing because Kylian is a fantastic boy, a real gentleman, and leaving for free, weakening the biggest French club, it’s not him. When I received this information, I was shocked and disappointed. »

Only the new emerging player in world football was offensive on this issue, but the Saudi proposal was quickly rejected by the player. The Al-Hilal club wanted to recruit Mbappé for 300 million euros, with an annual salary of 700 million euros – two amounts never seen in football – but for the moment, the former Monegasque only sees his future in Europe, and waits for the big teams to take action.

Real Madrid are still the preferred option to this day, although Florentino Perez, the Madrid president, sees very favorably the idea of ??recovering such an asset in a year at a lower cost. English teams are also monitoring the Mbappé case, but even with the unlimited means of the Premier League, such an investment is complex to implement. Thus, the status quo remains. Note that the French international must receive this Tuesday, August 1, a loyalty bonus estimated at 40 million euros. A clause which dates from his last contract extension, which took place in May 2022.

The negotiations will still have to accelerate, because the resumption of Ligue 1 is approaching. And if PSG wants to rebuild a team with the transfer compensation recovered in the event of the departure of its number 7, it will not be able to do it at the last moment. Since being sidelined, Kylian Mbappé has still not communicated publicly about his situation and continues to hunker down, stopping all the same at the exit of the training center to sign a few autographs and pose for selfies.

10,000 kilometers away, the Mbappé file never ceases to occupy people’s minds and to be a thorny subject, with a denouement that is desired.
