Striker Kylian Mbappe shared a photo on Instagram with a mysterious message just before the deadline of July 31 to respond regarding whether or not to renew his contract with PSG.
Mbappe is seen in the shot leaving his destination in Monaco with significant cards. As revealed by the club’s president, Nasser Al Khelaifi, on July 5, the deadline for this 24-year-old talent to respond to PSG for an extension or transfer is July 31.
At the same time, Fabrizio Romano, a writer and transfer information expert, revealed: “PSG has reached an agreement to recruit star Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona, when activating the contract release clause worth 50 million euros.” Ousmane Dembele has decided to join PSG on a contract extension until June 2028.”
According to Marca (Spain), PSG recruited Ousmane Dembele to replace Mbappe, and the player is likely to stick with his opinion: do not renew and stay until the conclusion of the contract in June 2024.
Mbappe’s deal to PSG has so far been stalled. Some expected transactions, such as Premier League clubs Chelsea and Liverpool asking Mbappe to borrow, are not realistic because PSG will only sell this player if he does not agree to extend his contract.
PSG is currently on tour in Asia, where they will face Inter Milan on August 1 in Tokyo (Japan) and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on August 3 in Busan (Korea). Following this, the entire Paris team returned to the Cite Sportif de Poissy training site to prepare for the start of the new Ligue 1 (France) season on August 12.
“Coach Luis Enrique and PSG will be in a difficult position with Mbappe’s situation right now, as they don’t know whether to use him or force him to sit out until everything is resolved.” Meanwhile, Real Madrid is still interested in him. The Spanish Royal team has not officially made a transfer bid to Mbappe. There is currently only one offer from Saudi Arabia, which Mbappe has declined, according to the Marca daily.
