What's going to happen with Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain?
The panic has returned in the last 24 hours as French important media reported about the Emir of Qatar set to meet with Kylian and present new formal, final proposal to convince Mbappé and extend his contract at Paris Saint-Germain once again, in new turnaround of events exactly as happened in 2022.
But sources close to Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain guarantee that the situation is completely different despite recent reports.
The Emir of Qatar is expected to meet Kylian Mbappé at the Élysée today alongside the French President Macron, but there's absolutely no plan to try to use this meeting for negotiations with the French star.
Paris Saint-Germain owners are well informed on the situation already since the beginning of February; Mbappé has been respectful and clear, he informed Nasser Al Khelaifi about his intention to leave the club as free agent at the end of the year and this is why he won't receive the loyalty bonus in his contract worth around €80m.
This is already clear and decided, Paris Saint-Germain are aware of that and same for the Emir of Qatar who's not gonna try any "last minute attempt".
Mbappé didn't decide this because of money; of course his salary at Real Madrid will be huge, same for the signing fee... but way lower compared to what the club offered in summer 2022.
Mbappé just wants to change and try a new chapter, not only the board is aware of that but same for the squad as Kylian informed his teammates the day after communicating directly to Nasser Al Khelaifi about his decision.
It's just a matter of time to see PSG and Mbappé making it official; and it will be made... together, in joint communication by club and player, this is the feeling of those close to the negotiations.
Real Madrid keep working on the final details of the contract in order to get it done, signed and sealed as soon as possible; the Spanish club wants to avoid any surprise but they remain absolutely optimistic about that as the contract is already in Kylian and his mother's hands since January.
Work in progress, as this deal is considered a matter of time... but also from Madrid they don't see this meeting as a problem, an issue or any potential chance for PSG to present new formal proposal to the player.
All parties are well aware of the situation and no changes have been planned. Now it's on Mbappé and Real Madrid to get it signed in the next weeks or months, time to be patient but also confident now more than ever.
