It was thanks to several promises from the Paris Saint-Germain board that, at the end of May, Kylian Mbappé renewed his contract until 2024, becoming the highest paid player on the planet.
Among the various ‘oaths’ of Nasser Al-Khelaifi and his companions there would be the farewell of Neymar from the club, so much so that the young Frenchman would become the central figure of the team. Furthermore, Mbappé would have seen the request to strengthen the squad in quality and PSG assured him that central defender Milan Skriniar (Inter), Portuguese international Bernardo Silva (Man. City) and Polish forward Robert Lewandowski (then at Bayern, now at Barcelona) would be reinforcements for 2022/2023.
The truth is that none of these three players have made it and this will have contributed significantly to Mbappé’s growing discontent in the Parc des Princes.
In the last days of the summer market, the French press reported an offer of 70 million euros from PSG for Bernardo Silva, a value considered insufficient by the two-time English champion.
