Kylian Mbappe Holds Firm on PSG Future, Foregoes Loyalty Bonus
Recent discussions between Kylian Mbappe and PSG have shed light on the French striker’s unwavering stance regarding his future. Despite spending over a month away from the first team, Mbappe remains steadfast in his decision not to extend his stay beyond 2024 at the club.
As revealed by Mario Cortegana, an intriguing development has emerged: Mbappe has chosen to relinquish his €80 million loyalty bonus. This decision appears aimed at fostering an amicable resolution to the ongoing conflict with the club.
PSG has actively pursued a contract extension with Mbappe, yet their efforts have encountered obstacles, yielding no success thus far.
An intriguing twist comes in the form of a letter sent by PSG to Mbappe, imploring him to consider extending his tenure at Parc des Princes beyond 2024.
Notably, PSG’s acquisition of Mbappe in 2018 came with a hefty €180 million price tag. Consequently, their reluctance to lose him to Real Madrid as a free agent next summer is understandable.
Should PSG fail to convince Mbappe to commit beyond this season—a scenario that is increasingly plausible—they may be compelled to sell him during the final days of the transfer window.
On the other side, Real Madrid stands prepared with the funds to secure Mbappe’s services. As they await the opportune moment, the saga takes another intriguing turn.
