PSG’s stance on Kylian Mbappe revealed by Nasser Al-Khelaifi as club president reacts to Real Madrid’s statement on potential 2024 transfer.
Despite ongoing speculation and interest from Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) maintains that Kylian Mbappe is actively contributing to the club’s future development. Mbappe’s contract with PSG is set to expire in 2024, and the transfer saga surrounding his potential move to Real Madrid has been a long-running one. However, Real Madrid has stated that no negotiations are currently underway.
They have said: “Given the information recently issued and published by different media outlets, in which there is speculation about alleged negotiations between the player Kylian Mbappe and our club, Real Madrid CF would like to state that this information is completely false and that no such negotiations have taken place with a player who belongs to PSG.”
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has maintained throughout that he has no intention of discussing Mbappe’s departure from Parc des Princes, and that remains the stance from the very top of the club. Al-Khelaifi has told Gazzetta dello Sport when asked about the latest comments coming out of Madrid: “I haven’t seen their statement, we’re all focused on ourselves and our football, not on others.”
Al-Khelaifi added on the role that Mbappe has to play in the present and future at PSG: “Kylian continues to achieve great things and maybe people take him for granted, but nobody has played two World Cup finals and even scored a hat-trick. I’ll say it again: Kylian is the best in the world, and it’s great to see him at the helm of PSG and France. He’s having a positive effect on our young people, helping us to build our future.”
Real has temporarily removed itself from Mbappe, but at some point, it is anticipated that they will try to acquire the French international. The superstar, 24, is the club’s all-time leading goalscorer. PSG will not back down without a fight, though, as they are still hoping to convince him to sign a new deal.
