The situation between Kylian Mbappé and PSG is at a standstill: the player is reluctant to sign a contract extension, while the club remains firm in its position.
The question remains: who will win this standoff? Mbappé’s refusal to extend his contract has not portrayed him in a positive light, and PSG could face significant financial losses if he leaves on a free transfer next summer.
Until then, anything is possible. Mbappé has been excluded from the Asian tour and placed in the “loft” of undesirable players. “Facing what he perceives as yet another betrayal, PSG has taken a step further this time by informing Kylian Mbappé that he will not play without signing an extension or leaving,” explains Le Parisien.
“If the striker doesn’t want to jeopardize a season in his career – a setback for a player aspiring to be the best in the world – he must now accept his transfer or activate the release clause. As the president always emphasizes, ‘the institution is above everything.’ And he’s proving it once again,” says Le Parisien. But how long will this situation last? The Mbappé camp is suggesting that the player would be willing to sit on the bench for a season if necessary.
