Kylian Mbappe has made a very concerning announcement that is broken the hearts of many PSG fans. The French player has announced that he has plans of leaving Paris Saint Germain in the upcoming transfer window.
Severed Relations between Mbappe and PSG
Kylian Mbappe recently opened up about his involvement at the club where he revealed that he no longer feels the same at the club as he used to.
Therefore, he wants to leave the club as soon as possible. The player revealed that he and the entire PSG club had a very strong and unbreakable relationship.
Now it seems that the relationship is no more as the player has made his intentions very clear and knows that he is eager to leave.
He believes that his relationship with the club has broken down and they are not on the same page. Therefore, it is better that he leaves the club for good and pursue his career somewhere else.
Paris Saint Germain’s Interest
While Mbappe is determined to leave PSG, the club has no intentions of selling the player at all. As per the club, it is not in their interest to sell the player to any other club.
If the club wanted to sell him, they would not have extended their contract with the player to up to 3 more years. It was just this summer when Kylian Mbappe signed to extend his contract with the club, showing full intentions of staying.
In the summer window, PSG received several acquisition requests from all major clubs. Some of the most prominent clubs who showed great interest in buying the player were Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Both clubs offered a great amount in the form of a transfer fee to acquire the player but PSG was not interested to sell him at all.
When Mbappe signed to extend his contract at PSG, it was perceived that the player also intended to stay. This is the reason why the club backed Mbappe and did not let him go despite the strong pressure from the interested clubs.
PSG is Aware of Mbappe’s Intentions
However, as the player is now interested to move, the club is also well aware of it. When the summer transfer window opened, Kylian Mbappe’s agent did sit down for long talks with the officials at Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Still, Mbappe sat down with PSG to sign a 3-year contract. However, Mbappe changed his mind right after he confirmed that he was moving to Real Madrid and the deal was in the final phase.
Now that the player has announced he intends to leave, the pressure is on PSG. The clubs such as Real Madrid and Liverpool would also want to continue from where they left off with the French player.
There is Major Catch
However, things may not turn out well for Kylian Mbappe as expected. This is because PSG is considering putting a very high price tag on the player.
As per sources, the price tag on the player would be somewhere around $255-$297 million. This is going to be a huge event for Real Madrid, which is known for signing some of the most expensive football players.
According to inside sources from PSG, Real Madrid was already willing to flush out €180 million for the player that PSG itself had paid out to Monaco for Mbappe.
The club will need to add over €100 million to acquire the player as the January transfer window opens.
