Kylian Mbappé did not leave PSG this summer, but can we say the same in a year?
If the Parisian club rejected the approaches of Real Madrid during the last transfer window, the world champion did not extend his contract, which exposes the semi-finalist of the last Champions League to see the French go free to the end of the season at the end of his lease.
A scenario that would not put the slightest euro in the Parisian coffers and that the sporting director Leonardo excludes.
“Mbappé represents the difference between the superficial and the deep.
I do not see Kylian leaving at the end of this season, explained the Brazilian in an interview broadcast by Canal + Tuesday evening, on the eve of the entry into contention of PSG in C1 against Bruges.
Mbappé's relationship with PSG is deep.
We don't think of another thing.
I don't think anyone here sees the future without him.
"
Leonardo: "I see Neymar, Kylian and Messi, I think they are very complementary, each is No. 1 in their characteristics [...]. I do not see any jealousy between them."

Leonardo also returned to the summer negotiations with Real Madrid, not hesitating to criticize again the attitude of the Spanish club, which has been dreaming for several years of attracting the young prodigy to the Iberian Peninsula.
“We are not happy with the behavior of Real Madrid, he said.
Arrive the last week of the transfer window, start negotiations for one of the best players in the world ... We were clear about the offer they made.
It was not sufficient from our point of view.
It was less than what we paid.
As for their last offer, it never arrived.

PSG wanted € 220 million
According to information from the Parisian, PSG intended to obtain 220 million euros from the potential transaction. An amount that allowed him to get out of this case by settling the 35 million euros in Monaco provided for in the event of an extension or transfer while collecting a little more than the 180 million disbursed to dislodge him from the Rock in 2017. But Kylian Mbappé is still Parisian today. Without knowing yet for how long.
