At the time of SMS and tweets, the correspondence between PSG and Kylian Mbappé is very extensive. We know that the captain of the Blues wrote to the capital club at the end of June to inform him that he will not exercise his option for 2024-25. This de facto opened the door to a departure without transfer compensation next summer, at the end of his current contract. An unacceptable outcome for Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who made things clear on Wednesday in Poissy: extension or transfer.
Which did not particularly worry Bondy’s crack, who still does not want to re-enlist according to Le Parisien . Still, Paris Saint-Germain had responded to Mbappé’s letter with a three-page letter on July 3, according to information from L’Equipe.
Since the announcement of its extension in 2022, multiple sources have spoken of Mbappé’s dissatisfaction with the transfer window, and the broken promises of PSG. In fact, the main interested party had half-acknowledged that the 2022 transfer window had not impressed him unduly at a press conference, from the start of the season… Version confirmed in this letter: “We had discussed a very ambitious recruitment that we were only able to partially achieve given the conditions of the transfer window and French and European regulatory constraints. Conditions completely beyond our control but despite which we have tried to meet your requests unlike what we would have done for any other player without being fatal to the club”.
PSG also evokes the “enormous damage” caused by the publicity around Mbappé’s decision, his potential free start in 2024, and the fact that the golden bridge which was granted to him in 2022 can only “register as part of a future sale or continuity beyond June 30, 2024, as agreed between (them)”.
We therefore learn a little more every day in this soap opera, while Real Madrid and… Liverpool would be willing to put 200 M€ on the table this summer according to Spanish sources. Until further notice, however, Paris Saint-Germain have not received anything… In the meantime, Kylian Mbappé is in Cameroon. He will be expected in Poissy for the recovery on June 17. At least, if he is still under contract with Paris Saint-Germain – which formalized the arrivals of Milan Skriniar and Marco Asensio – at that time… Tic-tac.
