How does the world champion decide?
Kylian Mbappé (22) is still under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2022. It is an open secret that the most valuable player in the world (market value 180 million according to the transfer market) is at the top of the list at Real Madrid.
Less than a week ago, Mbappé spoke of an imminent decision about his future. “Do I want to extend? We talk to the association to find a common project. I’m worried at the moment because – if I sign – then to get involved in the long term. I will make a decision soon, ”the player announced.
He was “very happy” in Paris, the club and the fans had always helped him, for which he would be grateful “forever”.
Will Mbappé stay in France – or will he switch to Real?
The Spanish sports newspaper Marca reported on its front page today that Los Blancos are now waiting for a signal from the professional.

background: Should Mbappé not extend in Paris, the French would probably sell him next summer in order to collect an insane sum for the national player. The problem: The Corona crisis has also hit Real Madrid hard financially. In order to be able to manage such a mega-transfer anyway, the club would need planning security early on.
But there is no clear sign from the world champion himself. Mbappé says: “I am in a phase of reflection. I have to think about what I want to do in the next few years, where I want to be. “
The Marca suspects that Mbappé would like to buy time with these statements so that he can only decide later which club with which project appeals to him most beyond the salary. And it is very likely that a decision will not be known until the end of the season.
In addition to PSG and Real, Liverpool are also interested in the player. The English champions have become a serious option for Mbappé since last summer. In addition: Liverpool got through the Corona crisis comparatively well from the big clubs.
Lionel Messi of all people could be the deciding factor for an extension in price. Should the Barça star actually come, as Neymar repeatedly called for, there would hardly be any coal left to pay the Mbappé salary. Sports director Leonardo had already said that the club would not ask anyone to stay.

At Real Madrid, coach Zinedine Zidane is a big fan of Mbappé. The coach would like to get the Paris star. However, the future of the coach in the Spanish capital itself is uncertain. So Mbappé is still waiting and testing whether the Spanish club is really determined to sign him or whether he will opt for Dortmund’s Erling Haaland, according to the Marca.
Because Mbappé has made one thing clear with his statements: He would like to switch to Real, but can also imagine a future at PSG. The decision remains exciting – and it is far from being made.
