Excitement in May 2019

PARIS. Time travel to May 2019. Real Madrid has long since left the Champions League and brought Zinedine Zidane back in March. The French should tackle the change and spend over 300 million euros in the summer – but Zidane’s two big wishes should remain unfulfilled: Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappé. Like Real, the French wonder striker had to say goodbye in the round of 16 when PSG surprisingly flew out against Pogba’s Manchester United. When the French championship became more and more certain, Mbappé is said to have contacted the club bosses and asked for a change – as reported by L’ÉQUIPE. Real and Zidane – too tempting for Mbappé. “I think it’s the time to take on more responsibility. Maybe at PSG or maybe somewhere else with a new project“Said the world champion on March 19, 2019 even after his first attempts to speak led to nowhere. But Paris not only flashed his superstar, but also carried himself to a public statement. A day later, the French capital said:PSG and Mbappé have a shared ambition to make history in European football. Mbappé and PSG are strongly connected after two years and the story will continue in the next season.“

After the L’ÉQUIPE report it is now clear: PSG was forced to take this step not only because of the royal recruitment, but also because Mbappé himself was flirting with a change. And since then, the French have been fighting for an extension of Kylian Mbappé’s working paper, which is still valid until 2022. An agreement? Apparently still a long way off.
