The highly-anticipated showdown between Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint Germain (PSG) regarding the French forward’s future took a dramatic turn on Wednesday.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi made it clear that the club cannot afford to let Mbappe leave as a free agent next year without receiving any transfer fee in return. Al-Khelaifi’s statement came during a press conference where he also announced the appointment of former Spain and Barcelona coach, Luis Enrique.
Emphasizing the club’s stance, Al-Khelaifi stated, “We cannot allow one of the best players in the world to depart for free.” It is no secret that Real Madrid has a keen interest in acquiring Mbappe, a club that the 24-year-old forward has admired since his childhood. With just one year remaining on his PSG contract, Mbappe informed the club via a letter last month that he will not be exercising the option to renew it for the 2024-25 season.
