Kylian Mbappe transfer looms, Paris deadline, €40 million loyalty bonus, contract expires
Posted : 01 August 2023
The Kylian Mbappe transfer saga continues to dominate European football headlines. Paris Saint-Germain's deadline with the French striker has passed, and he is set to receive his €40 million "loyalty bonus" today, with another €40 million due at the end of August. Additionally, the deadline for exercising Mbappe's contract option for the 2024/25 season has also passed, making his current contract expire next summer.
However, PSG appears to be growing frustrated with Mbappe's refusal to entertain offers from other clubs, including Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal, during the current transfer window.
The club is reportedly contemplating filing a complaint with FIFA against Real Madrid, claiming that the Blancos have directly contacted Mbappe and his representatives to secure his arrival in the summer of 2024 for free, effectively undermining his commitment to PSG this summer.
Amid the PSG-Mbappe-Real Madrid dispute, Chelsea is not giving up on their pursuit of the striker. The English club is preparing to make a substantial offer, potentially involving a significant transfer fee and a senior player from their squad. Despite Chelsea's interest, Mbappe is expected to reject any move, indicating his desire to stay with PSG.
Financially, Real Madrid and Chelsea are the primary contenders for Mbappe's signature. Chelsea's American owner, Todd Boehly, is reportedly eager to bring the Frenchman to London, making them the only club capable of challenging Real Madrid in financial terms.
As the transfer window approaches its conclusion, the drama surrounding Kylian Mbappe's future remains a focal point of attention in the football world.
