PSG Unlikely to Offer New Deal to Mbappe, Real Madrid in Pole Position

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) reportedly has no plans to offer Kylian Mbappe a new contract, and instead, they are banking on the hope that the star player will agree to a one-year extension clause in his current contract. The intention is to keep Mbappe in Paris while potentially gaining more time to negotiate a long-term deal or explore alternative arrangements.

This strategy aligns with PSG’s belief that it is impossible to offer Mbappe a higher salary. The club is relying on the French forward’s contentment in his current environment and positive working relationship with coach Luis Enrique to encourage him to consider the extension. If successful, this move would buy PSG more time to convince Mbappe to stay or enter negotiations with other interested parties.

Real Madrid, among other clubs, will have the opportunity to negotiate freely with Mbappe starting in January if he opts not to extend his contract with PSG. While Mbappe’s desire to win the Champions League is a significant factor, his previous rejections of Real Madrid and the club’s apparent lack of a traditional forward signing this summer suggest a complex and evolving situation.

As the January window approaches, the football world awaits developments in Mbappe’s contract saga and potential negotiations with Real Madrid. The dynamic nature of the situation makes it clear that Mbappe’s final decision may not be revealed until the end of the negotiation period.
