PSG’s ‘secret’ agreement with Mbappé which might see him leave to Real in 2024

In a dramatic turn of events last summer, Kylian Mbappé found himself on the verge of leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), as reports surfaced that the club had placed him on the transfer market.

However, despite the looming uncertainty, a sale failed to materialize, leaving fans and pundits puzzled.

Broken relations

The situation escalated to the point of a complete breakdown in the relationship between the talented forward and PSG’s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi. Mbappé, often a key figure for the team, was notably excluded from the pre-season tour and did not partake in training with the squad during the initial days of the season.

As the transfer window unfolded, a last-minute agreement emerged, allowing Mbappé to make a return to the first team.

The intricacies of the deal revealed that substantial bonuses, totaling around 80 million euros were set to be paid to the player solely for remaining at the club beyond the summer.

Agreement to save money

As reported by French journalist Fabrice Hawkins, an agreement between PSG and Mbappé stipulated that the player would forego a portion of the money owed to him by the club, approximately 80 million euros, tied to various performance-related bonuses.

This agreement would mean the player would save the club a significant amount of money should he leave the club for free.

The 2018 World Cup winner can hence realize his dream move to Real Madrid on a free in the summer of 2024.

Despite this financial wrangling, PSG expressed a continued desire to extend Mbappé’s contract, signaling their commitment to retaining the star player.

Ultimately, Mbappé finds himself in a unique position, holding the reins to his own destiny. With the tug-of-war between bonuses and a potential contract extension, the young striker must navigate the intricate negotiations surrounding his future with PSG.

The football world eagerly awaits the resolution of Mbappé’s contract saga, wondering whether he will choose to stay with the Parisian giants or seek new horizons in his illustrious career.
