Convinced that Bondy’s crack already has an agreement to join Real Madrid in 2024, at the end of his contract, the Parisian leaders raise their voices by removing him from the group and putting him on the market.
The point of no return ? In any case the beginning of an arm wrestling. Tired of waiting for an answer from Kylian Mbappé, under contract until 2024 and who still refuses to extend, the leaders of PSG have decided to hit hard, very hard. In fact, it is not possible to do more. The crack of Bondy does not appear in the group selected for the summer tour in Japan and South Korea. Scorer Friday in Poissy against Le Havre (2-0 victory), in a friendly, “KM” is not injured. As revealed The Team , it is a deliberate choice of the club of the capital. Information that we are able to confirm. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi had sent a clear ultimatum to the captain of the Blues, during the presentation of the new coach, Luis Enrique: the extension or the “open doorto a transfer this summer. He had until his first practice on Tuesday to come forward. Since then, nothing. The Qatari president has therefore decided to say stop. PSG consider Kylian Mbappé to be for sale and will listen to offers.
Announcements which follow the muscular speech of “NAK” Tuesday in front of the group and the staff, during the first training after the return of the internationals, including Kylian Mbappé. The Parisian president – who had not met the 24-year-old player one-on-one as one might have thought – recalled that “no one is above the institution», insisting heavily on the notion of «loyalty“, of “loyalty“, on the fact that the club has done everything for the players and built “the best training center in the worldand that he expected them to give everything back. Barely veiled messages…
Secret agreement with Real?
And now ? Paris Saint-Germain are waiting for offers. At what level ? “The right price for the best player in the world“, we were told recently. At PSG, we are convinced that the former Monegasque has already said yes to Real Madrid for a signing in 2024, at the end of his contract in Paris and therefore without transfer compensation. This would allow the transition to Mbappé to receive an even larger signing bonus than in the context of a transfer. The feeling of betrayal is palpable among many interlocutors at the Factory, some speaking of sabotage and fearing that the club will have to sell several players in order to absorb the shortfall from a transfer from number 7. In any case, the transfer window is more than ever “paralyzed“: we do not recruit the same players with or without Mbappé, whether in terms of means or profiles.

Remember that “KM” has already said no to the Madrid club several times, including in 2017 when leaving Monaco, and in 2022, during his extension to Paris Saint-Germain. In 2021, he wanted to leave the Parc des Princes for Santiago-Bernabeu but the club from the French capital had said no, and closed the door twice, taking the risk of … seeing the captain of the France team leave free the following year. And this while President Perez was ready to put 200 million euros on the table to poach him.
English clubs on the spot?
To see if the Casa Blanca will move after this thunderclap. In the meantime, several English clubs are interested according to our information. Clubs which have not yet sent an offer, not knowing the position of Kylian Mbappé. That could quickly change… It remains to be seen whether the native of Paris would be interested in leaving for the other side of the Channel when we know his affection for the club with 14 coronations in C1… Clearly, PSG cannot transfer him without his agreement. The Parisian decision-makers can always accept 12 offers, it will not change anything if Mbappé does not say yes … According to RMC the interested party is moreover ready tosacrifice» the season and stay on the banks of the Seine without playing! Unlikely given the boys’ ambitions and the prospect of Euro 2024 in Germany and the Paris Olympics, but why not? It is an arm wrestling that is engaged.

One thing is certain: the next few weeks will be hot on the side of Paris, while Luis Enrique’s group will try to continue their preparation in Asia, with three matches in Japan (Al-Nassr, Cerezo Osaka, Inter Milan) and a last one in South Korea (Jeonbuk Hyundai). Note that Kylian’s little brother, Ethan (16), is part of the group retained by the new Parisian coach (29 players). Gianluigi Donnarumma too, even if the Italian international goalkeeper was the victim of a violent burglary this Friday morning… Not called up against Le Havre and still in the recovery phase, Neymar and Presnel Kimpembe will also make the trip with the rest of the group, like the six summer recruits (Skriniar, Asensio, Lee, Ndour, Hernandez, Ugarte), a few titis (Zaire-Emery, Gharbi, Hous ni…) and two players returning from loan, Keylor Navas and Layvin Kurzawa.
PSG does not close the door
In the meantime, PSG, which now imagines a future without Kylian Mbappé, is not completely losing hope. In any case, the door is not closed on the side of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, which translates into facts the entry into the “new eraof the club: if Mbappé agrees to extend, by lifting his option for 2024-25 or by signing a new contract, everything would be forgotten. The Qatari president has not changed his mind, his priority is still to keep the Ile-de-France resident for one last dance and more affinities… but not at any price, not by letting Mbappé dictate the course to follow and the timing. It is obviously not the most likely option at the time of writing these lines… It is above all the departure of Mbappé, top scorer (212 goals in 260 matches) and undoubtedly the best player in the history of the club, who has never been so close.
