The end of the season arrives, the calendar clears and many look further on the horizon. The skyline that can be seen from Valdebebas is dominated by a single objective: the challenge of the 15th against Dortmund. The most restless are looking askance at next season with several pending renewals but with one name that stands out above all the others: the signing of Kylian Mbappé. Once his departure from PSG was announced, all the spotlights would be directed towards the Frenchman… if it weren’t for the Champions League final.
Mbappé and Madrid’s calendars do not ‘fit’. Madrid does not want to be distracted by anything other than the Wembley final. For that to happen there are still 20 days dotted with three League games without much crumb. Plenty of time to fall into the temptation of escaping with the possible arrival of the French star. With Ligue 1 also decided and once he said goodbye to the Parc des Princes this Sunday, Kylian only has one goal left: the final of the French Cup that PSG plays against Lyon on Saturday, May 25 in Lille. The opportunity to say goodbye definitively with a title.
And the agendas of Madrid and Mbappé begin to zip. That week the white club will be completely focused on the final in London. Mbappé, on the other hand, will have a few days off before joining France’s training camp for the Euro Cup (Deschamps gives the list this Thursday). And it will be then, with Mbappé in Clairefontaine, when Madrid has closed the season and starts thinking about the next one.

Mbappé announced on Friday that he was leaving PSG… but it will not be his last word. There will be time to hear him before France debuts in the Euro on June 17 against Austria. Without going any further, today, Monday, he attends the awards ceremony of the National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP), the French players’ union. A forum in which Mbappé always tends to give people something to talk about… because he doesn’t hold back when speaking. “I will be in Paris next year…” he said in last season’s edition. “I can’t say anything about my future, but you will know very soon. It is practically decided,” he stated two days ago, days before events took an unexpected turn and he decided to renew for PSG.
His intervention in 2019 had much more impact: “I think it is time to take greater responsibility. Maybe in Paris I will be happy, but maybe in another place too with a new project. If I talk about this again it’s too much. “It was the message I wanted to send.” He received for the first time the award for the best player in Ligue 1. But he did not fully enjoy that recognition at PSG. Messi had not arrived yet, but he was already competing with Neymar to be the first sword in the unfinished PSG project.

In this Monday’s edition he is nominated again for best player in Ligue 1. It would be the fifth consecutive edition that he wins it… and the last. Next year the category you will be eligible for will be the best French player abroad. An award for which this year, along with Griezmann, Maignan and Saliba, two of his possible future teammates are competing: Camavinga and Tchouameni, who aspire to succeed Benzema in the list of winners.
