This Sunday, Mbappé made PSG vibrate and made Real Madrid nervous. The French striker was the protagonist on the pitch, with two goals and three assists in the Parisian win against Lorient, and also in front of the microphones. As soon as the meeting ended, Kylian attended the media and, like every time he stands in front of a microphone, he was asked about his future. If in recent months, PSG fans were wrapped in pessimism about a possible departure of their star to Real Madrid, Mbappé’s words have made them smile: “I haven’t made my decision yet, everyone knows that I haven’t made my decision. I’m thinking because there are new elements, a lot of things, a lot of parameters, I don’t know.”
“If I had made my decision, I would say it, I am not accountable to anyone. It is a personal choice. If I made my decision, I say it and I accept it. In the good things and the bad things that I have done, I have always assumed them. I don’t have to hide, I didn’t kill anyone. I want to make the best decision I can,” he continued.
All roads seem to lead Mbappé to Real Madrid next season. The player’s contract ends in June and has not yet been renewed after up to six attempts by Al Khelaïfi to extend his relationship with PSG. That iron stance of the player has been fueling the hope of Real Madrid for months, but now it has been Mbappé himself who has played the mistake, also because he is in his role. Until he finishes the season with his club, he will not clearly say what decision was made. The striker insisted that he is taking his time: “I don’t want to be wrong. I want to make the right decision. I know it’s a bit late for people.” “Are there any chances then that he stays at PSG?” “Yes, of course…”.
In Madrid they are calm as far as Operation Mbappé is concerned despite those “new elements” that the player talks about almost two months after the end of his contract. Kylian, who from the outside is adopting a prudent speech when making any announcement, is the one chosen to be the cornerstone of the next project and it is trusted that everything will come to fruition so that his future exhibitions will be in the new Bernabéu and not against Lorient…
