Mbappe has been a PSG player since 2017. Then he was loaned for a season from AS Monaco, and then made a permanent transfer for EUR 180 million. And although the club won every possible trophy in the country with him, and the player himself regularly won the title of top scorer in Ligue 1, the most important thing was missing – a triumph on the international arena.

The closest PSG came to this was in 2020, when it reached the Champions League final, losing to Bayern Munich 0-1. The Frenchman had to enjoy it, but Robert Lewandowski won his first and only title in this competition.

Mbappe could leave Paris as early as 2022, when his contract previously ended. The matter was pending until the last minute, it seemed that Real had already completed the transfer, but the striker ultimately decided to stay in his current club, of course receiving a large financial reward. The new contract was signed for two years with an option to extend it by one year, but only on the part of the player.

And that’s right Last Tuesday, the 25-year-old was to officially inform PSG that he did not intend to use it. Meanwhile, the day before, his representative was seen in Manchester, where he was preparing for the match against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League.

But that’s not the end. On Tuesday, i.e. on the day Mbappe provided the information to the current club, which became public on Thursday, another representative of the player was in Leipzig for the match of the local RB against Real and was even in the VIP box.

This may mean that the attacker is trying to negotiate the best deal for himself. His main representative in contract negotiations is his mother Fayza Lamari, who is said to be a tough negotiator. On the other hand, she shouldn’t be surprised, because The 25-year-old is currently one of the best football players in the world. He has already achieved a lot, and yet he is just entering his best age as a player.

In addition to his successes with PSG, Mbappe is also the world champion with the French national team in 2018, and four years later the Tricolors became world runners-up, while the striker top scorer at the World Cup in Qatar.

This season, the player scored 32 goals and made seven assists in 31 matches in all competitions. PSG is leading Ligue 1 by a large margin, while in the Champions League they beat Real Sociedad San Sebastian 2-0 in the first leg of the round of 16. The club is also playing in the French Cup.

We will see to what extent the transfer turmoil will affect Mbappe and PSG.
