Mbappé stays and leaves free next summer
To discover
Ligue 1 fixtures and results
This is the option that seems to hold the rope. Nasser al-Khelaïfi repeats it over and over again. Last May, the big boss of PSG announced:
"Mbappé will remain at PSG 100%".
And more recently in an interview with
the Team
, following the presentation of Lionel Messi:
"Kylian will stay in Paris, we will never sell him and he will never leave free".
On reading these words, it seems difficult to envisage a departure from Bondy's crack before the end of August. However, the latter does not seem in a hurry to extend and relations between the Mbappé clan and Leonardo are quite fresh. In addition, the arrival of the "Pulga" in the capital has not necessarily changed the situation.
Last May, the 22-year-old said he wanted
"a solid project around him".
And this summer, PSG has strengthened considerably but with the arrival of Messi, the project no longer seems to be really centered around Mbappé.
What to consider a future in another club?
Probably.
The number 7 of Paris Saint-Germain dreams of Real Madrid and has never hidden it.
On the Merengue side, the seduction operation has already been launched for many weeks.
Aware that the operation is delicate to carry out this summer, the club of Florentino Perez has made a date for next summer.
Because if Mbappé does not extend by January, Real will be free to contact the player and could then sign him for free in the summer of 2022. And there is no doubt that the Spanish club will be at the top of the list of the former Monegasque.
Mbappé leaves for Real before the end of the transfer window
This would go against Al-Khelaïfi's statements. But can the latter afford to lose Kylian Mbappé for free? Probably not. Last week,
L'Equipe
revealed that Real Madrid were actively working on Bondy's crack trail. Calm on the transfer market for two years, the Merengue would have around 120 million euros to complete such a transfer. A sum that could quickly rise to 150 million or even more when the transfer of Martin Odegaard to Arsenal will be official. Enough to make PSG waver? An offer of this amount would necessarily make the club in the capital think about it, especially one year before the end of Mbappé's contract. But time is running out and less than two weeks before the end of the transfer window, it is difficult to see PSG separate from the French.

Mbappé extends to PSG
This option seems the least likely at present. But it remains a possibility. If PSG retains Mbappé during this transfer window, the club will therefore have four months to convince number 7 to extend. And above all, he has the financial capacity to do so. No doubt that Neymar, who has revealed himself in the role of agent to bring Messi this summer, could also try to convince the crack of Bondy. Another possibility in this case, Mbappé extends to PSG but ... with an agreement for a departure in the future. This would allow the capital club to have a season with the magical trio: Messi, Neymar and Mbappé. And above all, to be sure to recover a high compensation for his player. At that point, everyone would be almost happy. Even Monaco, which would receive 35 millioneuros from PSG if Mbappé extends his contract or is transferred.
