The future of these four players remains uncertain.
Unstoppable in the France team, Kylian Mbappé, Raphaël Varane, Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann have yet to clarify their situation with their respective clubs.
Some are negotiating a contract extension, like the native of Bondy, whose future crystallizes some tensions within PSG.
Others, like Griezmann, are expecting a firm stance from their management.
Can the Blues suffer from these indecisive situations as the Euro looms (June 11-July 11)?
Coach Didier Deschamps would certainly like everything to be clear by then.
Mbappé plays the watch.
The more weeks go by, the more the suspense climbs around Kylian Mbappé at PSG.
His last public position dates from February 16, after the success in Barcelona (4-1).
"The question comes up often," he smiled.
It's a long term thinking, not a game or two.
I always said I was happy here.
A month later, nothing has progressed as the end of Bondynois' contract is fast approaching (June 2022).
Leonardo's PSG believes that there are two choices: an extension completed before the summer or the possibility of a sale at a good price in the transfer window.
But impatience is felt in the Parisian ranks in the face of what is judged as a lack of position.
Twice, on the air of France Bleu Paris then of RMC Sport, Leonardo said: “He knows our intention.
I said, at some point we will have to come to a conclusion.
But everyone's position is important.
The message got through.
Mbappé to call back.
Varane waiting.
Raphaël Varane's future is making the headlines in the Spanish press.
It's hard to say with certainty that he will still be a Real Madrid player next season.
The Madrid club did not clearly tell him its intentions for the future.
Varane is pending as his contract ends in June 2022. The question of an extension is obviously on everyone's lips.
She seems to be the key to her future.
This could be settled provided that the club chaired by Florentino Pérez finally activates to revalue his contract.
“It's a frame.
He did not speak to me about wanting to move or to go elsewhere, confided Didier Deschamps at the beginning of the week about the defender.
Like others, he may have to move, but this is not the case today.
“Asked this Monday at a press conference, the former Lensois did not wish to speak on this subject.
Pogba and MU, not finished yet.
His agent Mino Raiola announced in early December that between the world champion and the Red Devils, "it's over".
“Paul is unhappy at Manchester United,” he said.
He must change teams, change air.
But since then, nothing has really changed in this direction.
At the end of January, Pogba spoke.
The former Le Havre, with disparate playing time, assured that he would "discuss with the club and we will see what will happen".
He also took a first step towards the Mancunian leaders with a view to an extension, even if nothing has been decided.
“I am under contract (June 2022), I am here and I am having fun.
Right now my goal, my goal is to win something.
“Why not the Europa League, after that won in 2017. It remains to be seen at what price Man United would let him go this summer, knowing that he arrived for nearly 105 million euros five years earlier.
An amount that very few clubs will be ready to invest in the midfielder next summer.
Griezmann has yet to convince.
Barça is taken by the throat.
He will have to reduce his payroll and cash in cash next summer.
De facto, several players could be placed on the transfer list.
Nothing indicates that Antoine Griezmann will be part of this list but the striker, basic man of the France team, represents a market value in the eyes of the new management which would be more inclined to separate from “Grizou” than d'Ousmane Dembélé, much appreciated by President Joan Laporta.
Mateu Alemany, new director general of FCB, and Jordi Cruyff, new technical director, should take the necessary decisions to reduce the debt in the coming weeks, according to several Catalan sources.
Griezmann, he must always convince.
And this since his arrival in 2019 at Barça where he still does not appear to be indestructible despite an enticing association on paper with Lionel Messi.
