The president of Paris Saint-Germain obviously tried everything to convince Kylian Mbappé to stay in the French capital. In vain.
After 7 years at the club, Kylian Mbappé announced that he would leave PSG at the end of the season, and the Frenchman will indeed play his final match tonight wearing the French club’s colors, in the Coupe de France final against Lyon. He has not yet announced his future destination, but it’s already evident to everyone.
Since the confirmation of his departure, the strained relationship between the player and his president, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, has also come to light. There’s talk of a heated discussion during the last match at Parc des Princes after the future Madrid player deliberately omitted to mention his president in his farewell thanks.
Nasser tried everything!
Despite this, it can’t be said that Paris Saint-Germain didn’t fight once again to convince Kylian Mbappé to extend his contract. In addition to the immense economic advantages promised, Nasser Al-Kheilaïfi even put forward some rather surprising arguments to try to change his mind. “All the great players, Bellingham, Kane, leave money for their club,” the PSG boss first said to try to make the player feel remorse, according to L’Équipe, without effect. Kylian Mbappé even refused bonuses promised to him in this regard, to make the financial aspect easier to digest.
“You can’t harm PSG. You can’t leave for free and strengthen our biggest rival,” Nasser also confided to his future ex-player, still in the aim of reproaching him for not bringing transfer fees to the club. This is bold considering PSG has never agreed to negotiate with Real Madrid.
Even more unusual, the Qatari brought up the European Super League in the discussion. “You’ll legitimize the Super League!” he reportedly declared, still according to the French media. So many arguments that, this time, failed to divert Kylian Mbappé from his path since after the Champions League final, he will be officially announced as the new player of Real Madrid.
