Mbappe leaves PSG after all
It was 15 February when Kylian Mbappe informed Nasser Al-Khelaifi that he would not be renewing his contract with PSG. The next day, the forward told his closest teammates about it, but it seemed to him that they knew. That is, there was a leak somewhere at the top.
For PSG, this is a common story – in the era of the sheikhs at the best soccer betting sites, they are completely unable to part with their stars. Just remember how Adrien Rabiot has been playing in the second team for the last six months.
Mbappe has not yet been sent to the reserves, but his playing time has already been reduced. Against Nantes, he played 30 minutes; against Rennes – 60, against Monaco – only 45 and was replaced at half-time.
Meanwhile, the team won only 1 match out of 3, so after a boring 0-0 with the Monegasques, the first three questions at the press conference to Luis Enrique were about the replacement:
“Sooner or later we will have to play without Mbappe, so I am trying to find the best option. It was 100% my decision.”
Can Lucio’s words be considered an official confirmation? Perhaps, yes.
After all, so can the forward’s behaviour in the second half against Monaco. Instead of watching the match on the bench, he took a shower and went up to the stands. At first, he sat down close to his clan, and only after a brief conversation with sporting director Luis Campos did he move closer to the VIP box where the Parisian bosses were seated.
Of course, they are not friends. PSG offered Mbappe a contract with payments of up to a billion euros, but he said no.
Moreover, Paris allegedly had an agreement with Mbappe that in the event of a non-renewal of the contract, he would return to the club part of the money invested in him. He may even have to give back half of the signing bonus – consultations are underway.
Kilian has been accused of greed for a very long time and it seems that he has now stepped over it.
