Transfers – Ligue 1: Kylian Mbappé will not exercise his option, PSG ready to sell him (media)

As it stands, the native of Paris would be free to commit wherever he wants on January 1, 2024. If he wants to pocket transfer compensation for his center forward, PSG must let him go this summer. THE New York Times, which corroborates information from the French media, mentions a sum of around 200 million dollars, or 185 M€. The dilemma turns out to be difficult, as Mbappé’s last extension dates back to May 2022, after a trying media hype.

At Real Madrid this summer?

While the new captain of the Blues obtained many guarantees during the off-season, the results of PSG – eliminated without shining by Bayern in the round of 16 of C1 and champion without shining in Ligue 1 – proved to be disappointing. With a likely new coach next year and numerous departures, including Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi, the capital club is preparing for another summer of work.

This announcement may come as a surprise, as Mbappé assured, during the UNFP trophy ceremony on May 28, that he « will be[t] there next season ». Has the departure of Karim Benzema from Real Madrid changed the situation? The mutual interest between the two parties is no secret, and this while President Florentino Pérez specified this weekend that Mbappé would come, « but not this year ».

Be that as it may, the teams capable of affording the Parisian this summer while offering him sporting guarantees will not be numerous. For example, it seems difficult to imagine him, at 24, following the wave of fabulous transfers to Saudi Arabia. The relaunched Mbappé soap opera has not finished shaking the transfer window.
