The Kyllian Mbappé soap opera never seems to write its ending. Everyone already assumes that the player will end up at Real Madrid, but Luis Enrique left open the possibility of his continuing. At PSG they know that the forward has not yet signed and they are keeping their offer firm, convinced that they may have an option. The sporting factor could end up being key although it is difficult.
Luis Enrique pointed out that there would be options to retain Mbappé if PSG achieves all the titles at stake, becoming the team of the year. In Paris they are already clear that the move is no longer about the economic issue but about the sporting issue and they hope that Madrid will fall in these Champions League quarterfinals against City and that PSG will be hegemonic in Europe at the end of the season with Mbappé as top star.
PSG promised Mbappé a winning project and Luis Enrique, little by little, has been shaping a team that can aspire to anything. There is a lot of optimism in Paris despite the fact that the Champions League quarterfinals against Barça were not liked. PSG have already had several upsets in Barcelona and are concerned about the resurgence of Xavi’s team.
What the Parisians are clear about is that Mbappé now feels comfortable. He is the fittest player in Europe and they have built a team around him so he can shine. They have given him everything and in the future they are going to protect him even moreIn Madrid he will be the leader but he will have competition at his side like Vinicius or Bellingham, so he will have to share stardom.
In Madrid they are calm although they have not yet closed the issue. They already know how the player and his surroundings spend their time and they were already ridiculed in their first attempt to sign him. And at PSG they don’t throw in the towel. The Champions League can be very, very decisive.
