According to AS, Paris Saint-Germain will not offer Kylian Mbappe a new contract at the conclusion of the season because they do not want to pay him more money.
This implies that the only way he can stay at PSG after this season is if he decides to activate the extra year in his contract.
As a consequence, according to the aforementioned site, Real Madrid now have an open window to sign Mbappe in the summer of 2024.
Nonetheless, PSG is still focused on keeping Mbappe in Paris in order to develop a short-term future plan centered on him.
A convincing sports case is expected to unravel in order to convince the top player to exercise the clause for another year.
There are several issues.
During his time at PSG, Mbappe was bothered by his desire to play on the left wing, a position usually claimed by Neymar, who had more power inside the club.
With Neymar gone, the issue at PSG was fixed, but some in higher positions at PSG told Mbappe, “You are going to a place where you will have the same problem with Vinicius.”
Meanwhile, Real Madrid has maintained its composure. They adhere to FIFA laws and wait from taking any action until January 1, as has been their constant policy.
Despite this, PSG’s choice not to extend a renewal offer benefits Real Madrid.
So, what comes next?
Following the heated situations Mbappe endured at PSG during the summer, especially when Nasser Al-Khelaifi took a tough stand, tranquility has been restored around the football sensation.
However, there is now no desire to offer Mbappe a new contract; instead, the intention is for him to stick to the parameters agreed upon at the last renewal, and this development offers fewer obstacles for Madrid.
Real Madrid is now in a good position in terms of their short-term plan.
Vinicius has blossomed, they’ve discovered a crucial player in Bellingham, and Erling Haaland is an option to Mbappe. Whatever the case may be, they have a clear road to convince the Frenchman.
