This Sunday, Leonardo reaffirmed his willingness to extend Kylian Mbappé, who is free at the end of the season. But in your opinion, is the sports director of PSG right to believe in his chances?
Free at the end of the season, Kylian Mbappé does not always seem decided to want to extend his contract. Eager to leave during the last summer transfer window, the French striker had been selected by PSG , which now hopes to reach an agreement with his star, while Real < strong> Madrid stands ready for action. The task of the Parisian club promises to be very difficult, however, since the discussions between Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé could intensify from the start of 2022, when the player will be allowed to speak with the club of his choice with a view to next season. Despite everything, Leonardo wishes to believe in his chances in this matter.
“The extension of Mbappé? I believe in it “
In a joint interview with Europe 1 and the JDD, Leonardo did not admit defeat in the Kylian Mbappé case. “This year he's even stronger. People will think we say that because we want to prolong it, but no. It’s beyond the club’s interests. At 22, almost 23, Kylian has come to incredible maturity. Everyone knows that, we want to keep it as long as possible. It is a very special situation because we are talking about the best player in the world who is coming to the end of his contract, “said the sporting director of PSG , adding that contact was not broken between the club. and the entourage of Kylian Mbappé : “We have always had a very direct relationship with his family, whether with Fayza (his mother, editor's note) or with Wilfrid ( his father, editor's note). You could say there were times when we argued more hotly, but that's part of building rapport. If he decides to stay, he will stay because we want to. I think they are going through it all very quietly. But it's a complicated situation, in the sense that you would like him to stay all his life (in Paris) and that we have to respect (their position). I think there are still good possibilities (to extend it). I believe it. »
But according to you, is Leonardo right to still believe in the extension of Mbappé ? To your votes!
