Mbappe

Kylian Mbappé has rejected the chance to join Real Madrid and chosen to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. The Spanish champions had been ...

PSG rejected several offers from Madrid for him last summer, the last worth €200m on deadline day, and have tried to persuade him to continue with the club. PSG are expected to announce the agreement in the coming hours. The France forward telephoned Florentino Pérez on Saturday to communicate his decision having opted against a move to La Liga despite holding positive talks with the Spanish champions only last week.

Paris St.-Germain has convinced Kylian Mbappé to sign a new contract, one of the richest in soccer history, that will keep the French striker at the club ...

But unlike Haaland, whose contract had to be acquired by Manchester City for an eight-figure transfer fee, Mbappé’s expiring contract in Paris made him a free agent, effectively able to choose from among the highest bidders for his prodigious talents. Amid an economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic, few teams but the wealthiest elite have been able to make the type of marquee signings that were once a staple of every soccer off-season. Real Madrid’s worst fears were confirmed on Saturday, when Pérez, in Belgrade to follow Real Madrid’s basketball team in a European final, received a message telling him Mbappé had decided to stay at P.S.G. For Mbappé, the deal comes amid major efforts to build his brand away from the field. But Mbappé had made no secret of his desire to move to Real Madrid from P.S.G., and the Spanish powerhouse went all out to recruit him. P.S.G.’s success in persuading Mbappé to stay is the latest sign that the dominance of global soccer that once rested in the hands of legacy clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United has now shifted to a few deep-pocketed, Gulf-backed teams. P.S.G.’s strategy of bringing the most exciting talents, whatever the cost, has had mixed results. Mbappé picked the one that will keep him in Paris. Its offer included a signing bonus of almost $140 million, a net salary of more than $26 million every season and complete control over his image rights. Mbappé informed Real Madrid earlier Saturday that he would not be coming. But P.S.G., the perennial French champion that is bankrolled by gas-rich Qatar, prevented him from leaving as a free agent by offering even better terms. The saga surrounding Mbappé’s future had gripped France, and was considered a matter of such national importance that last month the French president Emmanuel Macron told a news conference he would do whatever he could to keep Mbappé, considered a national treasure, in the country.

That optimism is sure to have skyrocketed on Saturday afternoon. The line from Real Madrid has been consistent confidence that they would get their man the whole way through, but in recent weeks there has been optimism coming from Paris. Earlier in the week it was reported that Mbappe would be announcing his decision on Sunday morning on French television, while on Friday Fayza Lamari confirmed that discussions were over and it was down to her son to decide.

Mbappé said he wanted to leave at the end of last season but only on the right terms for PSG. The non-transfer reflects the shifting power dynamics in European football. “Kylian’s commitment to PSG represents an amazing milestone in the history of our club." PSG turned down Madrid's official bid of 180 million euros ($190 million) — the same amount it signed Mbappé for from Monaco in 2017 — and even another reported amount of 200 million euros ($211 million) was not enough to sell its star despite him having only a year remaining on his contract. “I have some very good news to give you. I always said Paris was my home," Mbappe said.

The Kylian Mbappe transfer saga came to a conclusion on Saturday amid confirmation he signed a three-year deal at Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi "is as dangerous as the Super League," he added in a reference to a new competition with 12 of Europe's biggest clubs proposed last April.

MADRID: Paris Saint-Germain's extension deal with Kylian Mbappe is "an insult to football," La Liga president Javier Tebas said Saturday (May 21) after the player rejected an offer from Real Madrid.

Kylian Mbappe chose to stay at PSG over moving to Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer. But was it the right decision?

Now, it's time for Plan B. Real Madrid rode their veteran stars in winning LaLiga and reaching the Champions League final against Liverpool on May 28 (which, ironically, is in Paris... want to bet some were hoping Mbappe would be there to cheer them on?) But the team, evidently, needs fresh blood and depth. He was going to team up with presumptive Ballon d'Or winner (and one of his boyhood idols) Karim Benzema, as well as Brazilian wunderkind Vinicius Junior, in a stellar front trio. The stock explanation -- and, possibly, one that must be questioned -- was this: Mbappe wanted to go, PSG could not let him since they had just added Lionel Messi to the mix and wanted to take a serious run at the Champions League ... but next summer, if he doesn't extend, there's nothing to stop him. Mbappe won't be a part of it. Like, perhaps, that his new contract at PSG contains a release clause or is merely an extension so he can have another go at winning the Champions League with Messi at his side and will join Madrid later. As for Real Madrid, this feels like one of those great "Will they? For the French club and their Qatari owners, this was a massive coup. Mbappe might have used up his allotment of "nons" ... unless, of course, there's more here that we don't know. At Real, my son would have control of his image rights. A year ago, Mbappe seemed ready to move, but this time it was PSG who blocked the deal, turning down a reported offer of close to $200 million -- the second-highest fee ever, after Neymar ($263m) -- for his services. A day earlier, Mbappe's mother, Fayza Lamari, had said there would be no new meetings with clubs regarding her son's future. Coming from a mom, not so much.

The president looked at me through eyes that didn’t want to say the same thing, as if I was no longer indispensable to them.” Will PSG back Mbappe or make decisions for the greater good? The exit of Bartomeu was the most spectacular, the Catalan left months before he was supposed to in a manner that broke with the traditional methods of the club because he mistakenly tried to call Messi’s bluff over a summer transfer. With two apparently identical deals on the table for the youngster, you have to wonder what it was that convinced him to stay. But just as it appeared that the Frenchman was about to make the Spanish capital home, a deal for him to remain was clinched. As the 23-year-old was understood to have agreed personal terms with the Spaniards it was probably the least he could do.

He is a voracious goal-scorer and the player expected to dominate the sport for years to come. They need to build a collective." Could PSG look to offload both as they make Mbappe the undisputed figurehead of their project? There is arguably no more thrilling sight in modern football than Mbappe running at full speed at an opposition defence. "I always said that Paris was my home. This season's defeat in the last 16 to Real Madrid following a collapse in the second leg was just the latest humiliation for PSG in the Champions League, a series that most notably includes the 6-1 defeat to Barcelona in 2017.
