The current health and financial crisis will have consequences for the negotiations between PSG and Kylian Mbappé. The Frenchman will have a huge asset up his sleeve.
It has been over a month since the biggest European clubs have played a single football match, a situation unprecedented since the Second World War. In club offices, the Covid-19 pandemic is also shattering all certainties. This is the case at PSG with the Kylian Mbappé file. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi does not hide his desire to extend the contract of his world champion, just to protect his jewel from temptations. So far, the Parisian has refused all discussions, ensuring that he would not address this subject until the end of the season, just to see if PSG could live up to its ambitions. With the qualification for the quarter-finals of the Champions League and the face displayed by Paris SG before the interruption of the matches, the Parisian leaders could be confident. They even bombed their torsos by denying Kylian Mbappé the right to participate in the Olympic Games after Euro 2020. But everything has been postponed by a year, and that changes everything, France Football announced.
This Tuesday, the specialized weekly revealed that, given the general uncertainty among football clubs, an extension will hardly be on the carpet in the months to come. The discussions could therefore take place in early 2021, when football should have resumed a regular rhythm, if not to be classic. The former Monegasque would be only a big year away from the end of his contract, and would literally find himself in a position of strength. To sign a new contract with PSG, there will be no doubt, according to FF, that it will ask for the guarantee of being able to compete in the Olympic Games, and that Qatar has a good chance of yielding. Because in the event of stuck negotiations, Mbappé would then be almost a year from the end of his contract, and a free departure totally unthinkable for PSG.
