Mbappe Allegedly Chooses New Club, Yet PSG Remains Uninformed
Kylian Mbappe, the highly regarded forward for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has reportedly made a decision about his future. According to French outlet Le Parisien, Mbappe has chosen to leave PSG and join Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season. This news comes as no surprise, as there have been little signs of Mbappe renewing his deal with the French club.
Real Madrid is said to be optimistic about signing the 25-year-old superstar and could offer him their “biggest” contract. La Liga president Javier Tebas has even expressed his expectation that the move will happen. However, despite these reports, PSG remains unaware of Mbappe’s decision. TalkSPORT correspondent Ben Jacobs claims that the club has no knowledge of his choice.
As part of an agreement with PSG, Mbappe is expected to inform club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi of his decision before making any public announcements. The fact that PSG is unaware of Mbappe’s alleged choice raises questions about the accuracy of the reports. However, if true, this will undoubtedly be a significant blow to PSG, as Mbappe is considered one of the greatest players in world football.
Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid has been a subject of speculation for months. The Spanish club is pushing hard to secure his signature, and the longer Mbappe goes without signing a new deal with PSG, the more likely it seems that he will leave. Since joining PSG from Monaco on an initial loan deal, Mbappe has been a prolific goalscorer, netting 241 goals in 288 appearances across all competitions. He has also provided 105 assists during his time at the club.
This season alone, Mbappe has scored 29 goals and looks set to add another Ligue 1 title to his collection as PSG currently sits nine points clear at the top of the table. However, a move to Real Madrid would provide Mbappe with a greater opportunity to win the UEFA Champions League. Madrid, under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, have lifted the elite trophy a record 14 times.
Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid has drawn comparisons to Jude Bellingham’s impressive start at Borussia Dortmund. Emmanuel Petit, the former French international, believes that Bellingham is currently the best player in world football and ranks him ahead of Mbappe and Harry Kane.
In 2020, PSG reached the Champions League final for the first time in their history but were defeated 1-0 by Bayern Munich, with Mbappe playing the entire match. A move to Real Madrid would give Mbappe the opportunity to challenge for the trophy once again and establish himself as one of Madrid’s next Galacticos.
While PSG remains uninformed about Mbappe’s alleged decision, the speculation surrounding his future continues to grow. If the reports are accurate, Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid will undoubtedly be one of the biggest transfers in recent years, and fans around the world will eagerly await official confirmation of his next destination.
