The situation between Kylian Mbappé and PSG is at a standstill: the player is reluctant to sign a contract extension, while the club remains firm in its position.
The question remains: who will win this standoff? Mbappé’s refusal to extend his contract has not portrayed him in a positive light, and PSG could face significant financial losses if he leaves on a free transfer next summer.
Until then, anything is possible. Mbappé has been excluded from the Asian tour and placed in the « loft » of undesirable players. « Facing what he perceives as yet another betrayal, PSG has taken a step further this time by informing Kylian Mbappé that he will not play without signing an extension or leaving, » explains Le Parisien.
« If the striker doesn’t want to jeopardize a season in his career – a setback for a player aspiring to be the best in the world – he must now accept his transfer or activate the release clause. As the president always emphasizes, ‘the institution is above everything.’ And he’s proving it once again, » says Le Parisien. But how long will this situation last? The Mbappé camp is suggesting that the player would be willing to sit on the bench for a season if necessary.
