The great maneuvers. After ten days of “Messimania”, the Kylian Mbappé file is coming back to the table at PSG. At the end of his contract in June 2022, the former Monegasque received a little pressure on Wednesday in front of the international press during the presentation of Lionel Messi, from his president, Nasser al-Khelaïfi:
"Kylian has a mentality of winner. He has said publicly that he wants a competitive team. I think now there is no more competitive than this team. It means he has no excuse to do something else ”
. Implied, if Mbappé does not extend his lease with the vice-champion of France, this decision would be considered incomprehensible by the Parisian leaders.

But time goes by, and despite an XXL recruitment (Donnarumma, Hakimi, Wijnaldum and of course Lionel Messi), the Frenchman does not seem in a hurry more than that to extend. As revealed by
L'Equipe
, discussions between the two parties to extend Bondy's crack lease began two years ago. And progress is rare. Even non-existent for several weeks. So what's the problem ? With the arrival of Messi, PSG now presents the scariest attack in Europe with a trio that seems very complementary on paper: Neymar, Mbappé and Messi. But the Frenchman needs consideration and his statements last May, at the microphone of
Canal +
, attest to this:
“What I want is to win.
To feel that I am in a place where there is a project that is solid around me ”
.
And that may be where the problem lies.
Real ready to offer 150 million euros?
Because with Messi and Neymar, Mbappé could be considered as the third wheel of the coach and no longer as the head of the Parisian project. And that's where Real Madrid come in. The Spanish club, which still seems less armed for two seasons to fight on all fronts, has always been the dream of the former Monegasque since childhood and the Merengues are ready to leave him the keys to the truck. Make him the figurehead of the new Real. This is where Kylian Mbappé's thinking is located. So Florentino Perez's club are working behind the scenes and, according to
the team
, are planning to take action before the end of the transfer window. Very calm on the transfer market for two years, the Madrilenians have enough to present a solid offer to PSG to the tune of 150 millioneuros.

A very large sum for a player with only one year of contract left.
Enough to make PSG falter?
Al-Khelaïfi has announced several times that Mbappé will be Parisian this year but the specter of a free start in 2022 is also scary.
Especially in the current economic context.
In any case, Real Madrid are following the file very closely and even if a departure of the Parisian number 7 seems difficult to envisage before the end of August, he makes an appointment for the future.
Because if the extension of Bondy's crack remains at a standstill for a few more months, the clubs will be free to negotiate with Mbappé from January 1 in order to debauch him for free next summer.
And no doubt Real Madrid will be at the top of this list.
