Today, August 31, 2021, is the transfer deadline day in most leagues across Europe, and one of the biggest transfer targets, Kylian Mbappe will not leave Paris Saint Germain this summer.
Real Madrid have been doing so much to convince PSG to sell Kylian Mbappe to them but the French club insisted that Madrid’s effort was not enough.
Mbappe has a season left on his contract with PSG and the football star is not interested in playing for the French club anymore. He has reportedly rejected three different contract extension offers PSG made to him.
Even though the 22-year-old French striker has made his intention clear that he wants to play for his dream club Real Madrid, PSG have never stopped believing that they can convince the striker to extend his contract with them.
Recall that Madrid have shown how much they wanted Mbappe by making two separate offers for the services of the striker. The first offer they made for Mbappe is worth £137 million but PSG turned it down.
Afterward, Real Madrid made another offer worth £145.6 million. Yet, PSG that bought Mbappe for €145 million turned down Madrid’s offer again. While insisting that they are not trying to hold the French star down from joining Real Madrid, PSG argued that the offer of the Spanish giants for Mbappe was not enough.
One of the reasons PSG are expecting more from Real Madrid before they can allow Mbappe to join the Spanish club is because the French club would give Mbappe’s former club Monaco at least €35 million from any amount PSG are able to sell the Frenchman.
From all indications, PSG want nothing less than £200 million for the services of the football star, an amount Real Madrid are unwilling to spend on a single player in this transfer window.
According to a report by RMC Sport, Real Madrid have decided to withdraw from negotiations between them and PSG because the two clubs have failed to agree on a transfer fee.
Based on this, Real Madrid have only one option left which is to offer Mbappe a pre-contract deal during the January transfer window.
This will enable Mbappe to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2022. The contract between PSG and the 22-year-old French striker will expire on June 30, 2022.
Kylian Mbappe is having a time of his life amidst the transfer saga
From all indications, Kylian Mbappe would not stay at PSG grudgingly because he is currently enjoying his game at the club. This is so because despite how star-studded PSG have become, the French international has continued to be the talisman of the team.
So far in the 2021-2022 season, Mbappe has played in all the four games the team was involved in. In the four Ligue 1 games, he scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists.
In PSG’s league game against Reims last weekend, Mbappe was the star man of the game as he scored the only two goals of the match.
After the game, the Frenchman took to his Instagram page to share a picture showing when he was celebrating one of the goals to his 57.4 million Instagram followers.
In the caption, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner wrote: “3 points, 2 goals….The perfect night”.
