The star of the French team may change teams next year, so the club is looking for a replacement.
Kylian Mbappe will most likely leave PSG as a free agent
Kylian Mbappe always had a clear goal: play for PSG until June 2024 and then leave as a free agent for Real Madrid. The situation is the same as that experienced in mid-2022, where he had everything arranged with the Spanish team, but Nasser Al Khelaifi’s millions of dollars ended up convincing him to stay in his native country. That novel left Real Madrid fans very angry, as they interpreted that he had used their club to obtain a better salary in France. However, the anger seems to be in the past and fans once again have the illusion of seeing Mbappe in the white shirt.
This season Mbappe was clear that he was going to play for Paris Saint Germain and there was a clear reason: the immense salary he earns in France, which Real Madrid could not pay him. For playing the 2023-2024 season at the club, PSG pays ‘Donatello’ a loyalty bonus of 80 million euros, according to media such as Sport. Half of that amount has already been paid, the rest will be paid in case the forward does not leave for another team in the next winter market.
Paris Saint Germain pressed for Mbappe to make use of automatic renewal, an option that only the player can choose. The club even removed him from the squad, leaving him in Europe when they traveled to tour Japan. However, the scorer always remained firm in his position, knowing that it would not be in the best interest of the team to pay him a year’s salary by leaving him out of the squads. The project is clear, collect the onerous salary of 60 million euros and the prizes and then go to Real Madrid to fulfill his dream.
Mbappe’s possible replacement
At PSG they know that it is very likely that they will lose their great figure, so they are analyzing possible successors. According to what Fichajes Net reported, the French club is analyzing the incorporation of Florian Wirtz. The 20-year-old German plays for Bayer Leverkusen and his price would be around $94 million. Although Wirtz does not play in the same position as Mbappe, he is the number 10 on his team, so he could be an ideal replacement, due to quality and youth.
