As long as he pays the transfer fee, “I don’t care who he’s playing for,” English Sky Sports journalist explains.
French international Kylian Mbappe (24), whose relationship with his club Paris SG has deteriorated rapidly, has been told that he is certain to be transferred this summer.
The report was made by Kabaye Solhekol, a soccer journalist with Sky Sports in the U.K. He previously worked for the English newspaper “The Post. The former reporter for The Times explained Mbappe’s current situation in detail, saying that he is certain to leave Paris SG next month.
First, the process of deterioration of the relationship between Mbappe and Paris SG. The problem began last month when Mbappe wrote to the club to say that he would not extend his contract, which expires at the end of next season.
In fact, Mbappe’s contract with Paris SG expires next season, but he has the option of a one-year extension. Therefore, the club assumed that Mbappe would agree to a one-year extension, effectively leaving him with two years remaining on his contract.
However, Mbappe unilaterally declared that he would not exercise the option. So, on July 3 of this month, Paris SG informed Mbappe of the club’s request, also in writing. According to Solhekol, the document was respectful, beginning with “Mr. Mbappe. Here, Paris SG said, “We have invested a lot of money in you. I have also taken care of your family,” and appealed to the French forward, informing him that if he would not extend his contract for one year, they wanted him to make the move this summer, when the transfer fee would be paid.
The contents of this Paris SG written statement were leaked to the media. However, at this point, Mbappe’s rejection of the option to extend his contract by one year had not come to light, and the “make the move by the end of this summer when the transfer fee is due” part was leaked and Paris SG was the target of criticism.
Nevertheless, Mbappe’s notice of rejection of the contract extension option was also exposed, and from this point on, the relationship between the two rapidly deteriorated. Solhekol explains, “The Paris SG side is furious. Of course, they are astonished that the documents were leaked, but the root of their anger is the speculation that Mbappe is already in a free transfer scenario to R. Madrid at the end of next season.
Paris SG will decide to sell Mbappe early next month if he continues to reject the option to extend his contract until the end of the month, July 31. However, in that case, the club has decided to sell to “any club that will offer a transfer fee that Paris SG is willing to accept.
Mbappe, on the other hand, told a French soccer magazine, “Playing for Paris SG will not help me much [in my development] because the team is divided. Because this team is divided. The club is also divided. The cracks between him and the club have deepened to the point where it is no longer possible for him to stay.
