Real Madrid has reportedly made a second bid to acquire Kylian Mbappé, but Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is actively pursuing his contract extension for another season instead of passively waiting.
Although Real Madrid attempted to secure Kylian Mbappé for a second time, PSG swiftly responded by aiming to secure his renewal for an additional season, reducing the likelihood of Mbappé switching to Real Madrid.
This development has caused a stir in Barcelona, fueling speculations about a potential new talent at Real Madrid that could rival Lionel Messi’s impact.
According to Marca, PSG is adjusting its approach, emphasizing not only financial offers but also the sporting aspects to convince Mbappé to stay. PSG highlights the opportunity for milestones like participating in the Paris Olympic Games and becoming the all-time leading scorer in Ligue 1 to influence Mbappé’s decision on extending his contract.
Despite Mbappé’s substantial earnings of around 40 million euros at PSG, it seems that solely the financial aspect might no longer be enough to sway his choice.
Reportedly, Mbappé is more interested in the sporting dimension, aiming for individual achievements through tournament victories, especially with top competitors like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo nearing the later stages of their careers.
PSG’s strategy aims to ensure Mbappé doesn’t leave on a free transfer when his current contract ends, complicating the pursuits of other clubs eyeing him and positioning PSG to retain their prized asset.
Real Madrid isn’t the only club seeking Mbappé; English teams like Liverpool and Chelsea are reportedly interested in securing the French sensation for the Premier League. Yet, PSG’s efforts to extend his contract create suspense around Mbappé’s future, resulting in a tug-of-war between clubs competing for his signature.
As the transfer saga progresses, PSG is leveraging both financial and sporting elements to persuade Mbappé toward a contract extension. The football world awaits the outcome of the drama surrounding Kylian Mbappé’s future, adding intrigue to the upcoming transfer windows.
