The situation involving Kylian Mbappé seems to be far from finding an outcome. The coveted French player, long desired by Real Madrid, maintains a contract with Paris Saint-Germain until the end of June 2024 and, by refusing to renew his contract to meet the Parisian board’s desire to sell, opens up the possibility of leaving the club free of charge at the end of the season.

The striker highlighted the current transformation in the football landscape, mentioning that many prominent players have left Europe during the summer of 2023. Anticipating the inevitability of his own move, Mbappé emphasized that this is the normal cycle of the sport and that, at some point , he will have to move on.
PSG owner and president Nasser Al-Khelaifi expressed concern about the possibility of losing the number 7 without financial compensation, considering that Mbappé is valued at approximately US$195 million, which would have negative impacts on the club’s finances in relation to Financial Fair Play. Mbappé concluded the interview by indicating that his departure at some point is inevitable, in line with the ongoing transformations in football, but highlighted his dedication to continuing his career and paving his own path. “ At some point I will definitely leave, this is the new football. These changes that the sport has been experiencing don’t worry me at all. I simply think about continuing with my career and following my own path”, he added.
