According to renowned transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, it has been reported that Kylian Mbappe, who is being pursued by Real Madrid, has made the decision to forgo his yearly loyalty bonus from Paris Saint-Germain in order to continue playing for the club for an additional year.
The writer asserts that, based on information obtained from undisclosed sources, the French World Cup champion is very likely to go to Real Madrid in the next summer, either via a contractual provision or without any transfer fee involved.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) expresses a desire for an extension, but Kylian Mbappe exhibits hesitancy.
Following a period of intense activity and ongoing negotiations, Kylian Mbappe ultimately decided to remain at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Currently, it is important to acknowledge that despite the player’s decision to extend his tenure for an additional year, he has yet to formalize a fresh contractual agreement with the reigning champions of Ligue 1.
Moreover, despite being presented with the opportunity to extend his contract for an additional year, Mbappe has unequivocally stated his decision to decline such extension.
Consequently, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) remains susceptible to the potential departure of the French player without any financial compensation, thus prompting continued negotiations for a renewed contractual agreement. The proposed agreement is hardly comprehensive in nature, since its primary objective is to prevent a cost-free move to Real Madrid.
What is the rationale for the provision of a bonus?
After corresponding with the PSG executives via a written communication during the summer transfer window, Mbappe became significantly involved in the ensuing events. The individual in question was not selected to be part of the training group for the pre-season trip, and moreover, was denied access to participate in first-team training sessions.
Nevertheless, he was promptly reintegrated into the first squad. Regarding his loyalty incentive, it was relinquished only due to his desire to join PSG for the current season.
According to a statement released by PSG, Kylian Mbappé has been reintegrated into the first team training group this morning after productive and optimistic discussions between the player and the club before to the match against Lorient.
Conversely, in the event that he finalizes a new contractual agreement with PSG, it will have a provision enabling him to transfer to Madrid in the following summer, although subject to a certain financial consideration. Nevertheless, in the event that he fails to do so, a no-cost move to Madrid will still occur.
Currently, the athlete remains a member of PSG’s roster; nonetheless, it is anticipated that Madrid will make an approach to the player over the next summer. In actuality, their intention is to start communication by January only with the objective of convincing him to join their ranks without any financial obligations.
