What if Mbappé was still Parisian next summer, for the resumption of Ligue 1? It’s a possibility that seems to be gaining more and more momentum, since the Parisians would be ready to sign a short contract for their star, so that he stays one or two more years, and/or with a gentleman’s agreement so that he can leave at the end of his new contract, or during his contract for a lesser sum.
Anyway, on the side of Real Madrid we said we were quite calm in recent days in the face of this new information, even if the last Parisian proposal almost doubled the salary that Florentino Pérez is ready to offer him. But here it isABC Sports reveals a scoop which probably means that the people of Madrid are no longer so quiet…
A crucial choice
Thus, the newspaper specifies that the Spanish club was very clear with Mbappé: it is now or never. If the French striker does not sign this summer, Real Madrid will not try to recruit him in the future. In the event of signing a new contract in Paris, even for a short period or with conditions facilitating a fairly quick departure, Mbappé will never wear the Madrid tunic.
It remains to be seen how the principal concerned will react, while the Iberian media has also unveiled an important new element in this soap opera. In the event of signing in Madrid, the Bondynois will receive 50% of the income linked to merchandising and his image rights, which remains quite rare among the Merengues (who usually collect everything) and which has only been reserved to a few stars like Cristiano Ronaldo. And which, for the French, will also make it possible to compensate for the shortfall compared to the Parisian offer. To be continued…
