The emotional battle between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the French professional football league 1’s best family, and Kylian Mbappe (24, the key striker), chosen as the new nest by ‘the future of Korean football’ Lee Kang-in (22), is reaching an extreme.
When Mbappe, whose contract expires in 2024, refused the ‘one-year contract extension option’, PSG judged that Mbappe could be taken away without a transfer fee as a free agent (FA) next year, so the card of ‘bench standby + pay suspension’ took it out
French media Le Parisien said on the 11th (Korean time), “PSG will do everything for Mbappe,” and “If they do not transfer or renew their contract this summer, they will stop paying salaries or sit on the bench and not give them a chance to play.” We are also considering it,” he said.
This situation began last month when Mbappe informed PSG that he would give up the ‘one-year contract extension option’.
In an interview with foreign media such as the BBC on the 13th of last month, Mbafe said, “I will remain at PSG for the 2023-2024 season, but I have decided not to extend the contract.” All articles about joining the group are false.”
Mbafe, whose contract with PSG expires in June next year, has an option to extend for one year, but has decided to reject it. If this happens, Mbappe will be able to find a new team as a free agent (FA) without a transfer fee next summer.
PSG had no choice but to fall into shock at Mbappe’s remarks.
PSG signed AS Monaco in September 2017 after paying a transfer fee of 180 million euros (approximately 257 billion won) under the condition of a complete transfer after a one-year lease. At the time, it was the second-largest transfer fee ever after Neymar (PSG)’s transfer fee of 222 million euros.
Mbappe played 260 official games and scored 212 goals during six seasons, including loan time at PSG, and played an active role as a key attacking resource for the team.
When Mbappe, who paid a huge transfer fee and brought it, revealed that he would transfer as a free agent, PSG maintained a ‘absolutely impossible’ position.
PSG Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi emphasized at a press conference on the inauguration of manager Luis Enrique on the 6th, “If Mbafe wants to stay, he must sign a new contract.”
Mbappe also said in an interview with foreign media on the 9th, “PSG is a divided team. Playing more in PSG doesn’t help me,” he said strongly.
Reporter Daniel Riolo of French media RMC explained, “Mbappe will remain at PSG next season. Even if PSG sits on the bench until the end of next season, Mbappe is ready to accept any situation.”
There were also reports that Mbappe’s decision not to leave the team in the transfer window this summer despite pressure from PSG had to do with money.
PSG agreed to give 150 million euros (approximately 214 billion won) in the 2023-2024 season while renewing the contract with Mbafe in May of last year for a’2 years + 1 year additional option’. This is the sum of an annual salary of 60 million euros plus a royalty bonus of 90 million euros.
Mbappe can earn 150 million euros even if he does not play, and as he can choose where he wants to play without a transfer fee as an FA next season, there is no reason to extend the contract with PSG, who is upset.
