Ethan Mbappe’s future is not tied to that of his brother Kylian, who is expected to join Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, 90min understands.
At the conclusion of the current season, Kylian’s contract will expire, and he has made it clear that he intends to leave Paris Saint-Germain once it does.According to a recent report by 90 minutes, he would forego incentives of up to 80 million euros as part of a sophisticated legal deal. This agreement ensures that the French champions will not be financially disadvantaged, since Victor Osimhen and Marcus Rashford are among the prominent names on their list of prospective successors.
Madrid has had an interest in Kylian for a long time, and they are now in advanced discussions with him over a summer transfer. Although an agreement has not yet been completely reached, the foundation for the transfer has been established.
During this period, the Spanish press has speculated that Madrid would also be interested in signing his brother Ethan, who is 17 years old, in a transaction that is comparable to the one that they made when they moved from Monaco to PSG in 2017. The player himself and Paris Saint-Germain are both keen on him gaining more minutes at Parc des Princes, and the possibility of extending his stay has not been ruled out, according to sources who spoke to 90min.
Despite the fact that he has been absent from Paris Saint-Germain’s matchday rosters in recent weeks, Ethan, who plays in the center midfield position, has made three senior appearances for the franchise this season.
Even though his contract is set to expire this summer, Paris Saint-Germain is now unconcerned about the issue. Although the talks have not progressed in recent times, they have not failed either, and both sides are in a positive relationship with one another.
After Kylian made the announcement to the Paris Saint-Germain team that he would be departing, head coach Luis Enrique went to Ethan and asked him in jest whether he would be accompanying him out the exit door. Ethan responded by stating that he would not be doing so.
At the same time that Ethan is putting in a lot of effort to regain his place in Enrique’s team, Paris Saint-Germain’s first objective is to make sure that Kylian’s departure goes as smoothly as possible and that the conditions are finalized. As a result, it is possible that Ethan’s future will not be determined until a little bit closer to the conclusion of the season.
