Kylian Mbappé decides to stay in Paris-Saint-Germain. At the end of his contract at the Parisian club, the native of Bondy extends his adventure until 2025. Both parties have reached an agreement to renew their romance. The announcement was made on the sidelines of the game against FC Metz by the president of the Parisian club Nasser al-Khelaifi and the French world champion.
It is the consternation in Spain, in Madrid precisely. The 23-year-old French world champion had however given his approval to join the club of the White House before finally retracting.
It must be said that Kylian Mbappé took care to inform the president of Real Madrid of his decision and wished him good luck for the Champions League final next Saturday against Liverpool.
Kylian Mbappé landed in Paris in the summer of 2017 from AS Monaco for the staggering sum of 180 million euros. He had time to lift 4 Ligue 1 trophies, 3 French Cup trophies and a League Cup.
For the Madrid media, Kylian Mbappé has made “a big mistake” by staying at PSG. AS and Marca recalled that the Merengue club has in the past signed confirmed stars, citing Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham or Fabio Cannavaro. “All of them understood that beyond the titles, the door that gave them access to immortality was Real Madrid,” summarizes the daily Marca, not without minimizing the French championship.
The Catalan media did not fail to mock Real Madrid and its all-powerful president Fiorentina Perez, highlighting the great confidence shown by the president Florentino Perez.
Sport reports that Real has not managed to attract for this summer any star striker neither Erling Haaland nor Kylian Mbappé.
It must be said that the Merengue club is cartooning on the sporting level by being in the running to achieve a magical double.
La Liga boss Javier Tebas took the opportunity to attack PSG on the extension of Mbappé: “An insult to soccer” according to Javier Tebas, who believes that Nasser al-Khelaïfi (the president of PSG, ed.) “is as dangerous as the Super League.”
The Paris-Saint-Germain team then defeated the Messins (5-0) in the last day of the Ligue 1. The Parisian champion was inspired by his stars, Neymar, Messi, Mbappé, Di Maria. Special mention for Kylian Mbappé, who consolidated his status as the top scorer of Ligue 1 by slamming three new goals, his 26th, 27th and 28th of the season, breaking away from Monaco’s Wissam Ben Yedder. He is now the second highest scorer in the history of PSG with 150 goals behind Edinson Cavani 200.
Successful exit for Di Maria
Di Maria also scored a goal and another assist in his last game for PSG. The Argentinean angel will leave at the end of the season with the status of best passer in the history of Paris-Saint-Germain. The Italian-Argentinian will have spent seven (7) years at the club of the French capital, playing 295 games, scoring 91 goals and distributing 104 assists (club record). He is the most successful player in the French Cup, winning 5 times with his Parisian teammates Thiago Silva and Marquinhos. He also won 5 times the Ligue 1 and 4 times the League Cup.
