Abstract.

The suspense will have lasted until the last minute.

Before August 31 at midnight, the closing date of the football transfer window for the 2021-2022 season, uncertainty still hung over Kylian Mbappé's future at Paris Saint-Germain.

The star striker finally remains in the capital at least until the end of his contract, next June.

Epilogue of an intense summer for PSG, very active on the player transfer market.

After having recruited in particular the central defender Sergio Ramos, the management of the club jumped on a golden opportunity: to seize the best player on the planet.

The surprise arrival of Lionel Messi, sixfold Golden Ball, revives the leaders' hope of one day winning the Champions League.

Source code looks back on the crazy summer of Paris Saint-Germain with Dominique Sévérac and Benjamin Quarez, from the Parisian sports department.
