Leonard, the director of the French football club Paris-Saint-Germain (PSG), has confirmed that one of the leaders of the team’s attack in Kilian Mbape is interested in leaving the existing team. The talented French national team player is lured by Real Madrid.
“Kilians wants to leave PSG in Mbape. That seems clear, ”RMC Sport told Leonard. “I will understand if Real Madrid comes up with an offer. I think everyone understands that. However, we cannot change our plans a week before the transfer window closes. If he wants to go, we won’t keep him, but we will play by our rules. “
Mbape recently rejected two offers to extend the contract. “Our position has always been to keep Kilianu,” the director continued. “Extending the contract with him is still a topical issue. Previously, we made two noteworthy offers – one was the level of the contract for the best PSG players, and the other included a higher salary than our leaders receive. We want to prove that Kilians is an important player in our team – a central figure, but not a player who is above the project. ”
Leonardu is convinced that “Real” is currently playing a tactical game. “It seems that their strategy is to get rid of us. In this way, they will be able to say that they have done everything and wait for the summer of 2022 to get Mbape for free. “Real has been doing this for the last two years – that’s not right, because they’re in contact with the player.”
Earlier, there were rumors that “Real” has offered 160 million euros for Mbape. “I can’t confirm such information, but the amount was about that,” Leonard said. “It’s less than we paid to get it [Mbapē 2017. gadā tika iegādāts no “Monaco” par 180 miljoniem eiro]. In our opinion, the amount offered by Real is far from how valuable it is in Mbape at the moment. We will also have to pay Monaco if it is resold in Mbape, so Real’s offer was not competitive. “
