In a recent interview in GQ magazine, Kylian Mbappe did not rule out the possibility of leaving PSG. But his intention was to leave when he no longer wanted to play in Europe.
Kylian Mbappe said: “Many great players have left their mark in football history and they left for Europe this past summer. We are entering a new era of football. That’s the normal cycle of this sport and at some point I had to leave.”
The above message has nothing to do with the move to part ways with PSG in the summer of 2024 that Mbappe has been broadcasting all this time. It belongs to the distant future, when this striker born in 1998 turns 30 and declines in performance.
Perhaps at that time, Mbappe wanted to do what Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi or Benzema were doing, which was to make money and find joy in playing football in low-level but rich tournaments.
For now, Mbappe doesn’t seem to want to mention too much about whether he will stay or leave at PSG. When asked by GQ about his plans for the summer of 2024, instead of switching teams, the French striker was only interested in the Paris Olympics, where he wanted to compete at home.
“I have reached a new stage in my career where I no longer want to force things. If I get called up (to the Paris Olympics), I will definitely be happy. In case I don’t get it, I will always accept it.” accept,” Mbappe shared.
Through this, Mbappe also affirmed that in the current football environment, players will be under higher pressure and he is ready for that.
“Pressure doesn’t affect me negatively. I even need it to play well,” the striker emphasized. “It allows us to maintain the excellent performance necessary to shine at the highest level.
We are in an era that operates at breakneck speed, where people expect a lot from players. I have proven that pressure does not affect me negatively and that I even need it to compete.”
