Nasser Al Khelaifi has taken a proactive stance in addressing the ongoing ‘Mbappé case’ as uncertainty surrounds Kylian Mbappé’s future.
Mbappé, having recently secured victory in the French Super Cup, had previously spoken about his unsettled future, emphasizing that no decision had been reached, but assurances were in place for all involved parties. Now, PSG’s president sheds light on the current status of this prolonged saga.
Despite Kylian Mbappé’s newfound status as a free agent, granting him the flexibility to sign with any team, the club is obligated to officially announce when negotiations with the player are set to commence.
While the ideal scenario for Paris Saint-Germain is a contract renewal, Al Khelaifi acknowledges the unpredictability of the situation.
Expressing his desire for Mbappé to stay, Al Khelaifi deems the French player the best in the world and Paris Saint-Germain the ideal club for him. However, his tone differs from two years ago when Mbappé was also a free agent. Presently, there’s a lack of certainty regarding Mbappé’s continuation at Parc des Princes.
Despite providing Mbappé with significant sporting support and constructing a project centered around him, Al Khelaifi’s hope for his continued presence is tinged with uncertainty. The ongoing saga has led to conflicting reports from various sources in Spain, France, and England, contributing to the prolonged drama.
In response to the incessant speculation, Al Khelaifi urges everyone to leave Mbappé alone, emphasizing that the club is fine, and he trusts the player not to act against the club’s interests. Describing Mbappé as a great man and player, the PSG president confirms an agreement between them on various matters, highlighting the player’s commitment.
On Real Madrid’s side, fatigue with the prolonged saga is evident. Florentino Pérez, while not closing the doors to Mbappé, is unwilling to wait indefinitely.
Real Madrid expects the player to actively contribute to joining Santiago Bernabéu, demonstrating a genuine desire to wear the jersey of the 14-time Champions League winners. The president’s stance is clear – Mbappé’s future at Real Madrid depends solely on his choice, and if he doesn’t join the club, it will be because he chose not to.
