A « Heated Discussion »: What Really Happened Between Mbappé and Al-Khelaïfi

The tense exchange between Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Kylian Mbappé on Sunday evening wasn’t about ego, according to reports. Here’s what occurred.

Something did indeed happen in the corridors of Parc des Princes on Sunday evening. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of PSG, wanted to have a conversation with Kylian Mbappé. Sources cited by RMC Sport confirm it was a « heated discussion. » However, the term « clash » wasn’t used, as it was in the Parisien article.

This exchange wasn’t about NAK being intentionally omitted from Mbappé’s acknowledgments, but rather « was intended to settle financial disputes before the departure of the forward. It’s taking a bit longer than expected, » assures AP, cited by RMC.

PSG is indeed allowing Mbappé to leave in exchange for the waiving of millions of euros in bonuses. This is the point that needs clarification. « Kylian Mbappé has always been willing to make efforts on this issue, by returning this money. Approximately 80 million euros have already been returned. That’s also why he was reintegrated into the group last summer. Could this amount increase? Nothing has yet emerged from the final negotiations, » RMC assures.

The media outlet specifies that further meetings will take place. The issue will be resolved very quickly according to multiple sources.
