Mbappé raises doubts about his future at PSG: "I'll be there no matter what"

“Proud to be able to be part of this new chapter in the history of the club,” smiled Kylian Mbappé, Tuesday, on social networks. For its 50th anniversary, PSG has in fact chosen to update the so-called “Hechter” jersey. And with Marquinhos, it was Mbappé who was sent to the front line to present him. The former Monegasque therefore bowed to the game with this message. Although, it was actually not just a slogan. If Real Madrid, like most of the biggest European clubs, gives him soft eyes, we imagined that the summer of 2020 was not conducive to an XXL transfer far from Paris. In fact, Madrid's President Florentino Perez recently indicated that Casa Blanca is not in a position to break the bank this year. "It can wait," he said of Bondy's kid, and possible large-scale transfers in 2020.

"I am here, that I am in the project for a fourth year"

So the suspense was limited as to the future of Mbappé, under contract until 2022 on the banks of the Seine… He is now quite stale. Asked to explain himself about the previously quoted message, the former Monegasque said this, Tuesday, on beIN SPORTS , at half-time of the friendly match against Celtic (4-0): "What does that mean ? That I am here, that I am in the project for a fourth year ”. Loud and clear.

And Mbappé continues: “The 50 years of the club is an important year in the eyes of the club, the supporters, everyone. I will be there no matter what and I will try to bring back trophies with the team and do my best to give the best of myself. ” It remains to be seen whether this will to stay in 2020-21 will be accompanied by a contract extension. We know that the Parisian management is working on it. So far, we haven't seen it coming. We also know that Madrid's leaders will not stay on the sidelines forever. In history, few players have said no to Casa Blanca, which nevertheless knows how to be patient when the game is really worth the candle. As with Eden Hazard. After several years of chasing after, Real had finally twisted the arm of the Chelsea bosses, one year before the end of the Belgian international's contract. Bis repetita with Mbappé? In any case, the latter will be in a strong position in 2021, if he does not extend.

But in the meantime, it is well under the colors of Paris Saint-Germain that the 21-year-old prodigy will continue to write his story, and history itself, with a capital H. First with the finals of the national cups , the two Fridays that come to the Stade de France, and then to Lisbon with the Final 8 of the Champions League (12-23 August). “This is the moment we've all been waiting for, the moment to win titles,” he says on Instagram , after Celtic. And we are getting there more united than ever. Proud of my team and on the way to history. This is Paris. ” 

So much the better for French football, so much the better for Paris, and so much the better for Thomas Tuchel, all the joy to count him in his workforce. “He is under contract in Paris, recalls the German technician, commenting on the words of his player. We're not ready to sell guys. It is super important. He's a key player, he's our player. It's a gift to work with him and players like Kylian, "Ney", Angel (Di Maria), Mauro (Icardi), Marco (Verratti), Leo (Paredes), Marqui… Extraordinary players. Thiago (Silva), (Presnel) Kimpembe ... It's great. "

"There is a really good connection between 'Ney' and Kylian, it's a real strength for PSG"

Especially since the two Parisian superstars, Neymar and Mbappé, get along like thieves in the fair. On and off the pitch. We have seen it often in recent months, years. And again since the resumption, with for example this bright opening to send the French to goal from the first minute of play, Tuesday, against the champions of Scotland. You would have thought that after a while, the ego of the two men would push the club to make a choice, that one would want to pull the cover to him by trampling the other's flower beds. Nothing of the sort. They multiply the proofs of respect and even affection on social networks and on the meadow. Winning ticket. With a duo of this ilk, anything is possible for PSG. “There is a really good connection between 'Ney' and Kylian, confirms Thomas Tuchel. It gives everyone a lot of pleasure and it's a real strength for PSG. It's great like that. ” And so it will still be "top like that" at least for the 2020-21 season ...
