According to Spanish outlet El Chiringuito, PSG made Mbappe an exceptional offer that would have given him control over the club’s sporting project, including the ability to change the club’s managers, coaches, and players.
That’s right, you read it accurately. If the claim is to be true, this comes with an enormous cash offer as well.
That would very probably be the first – and certainly the most visible – instance of an active player at a club wielding executive control over the manager and team. It’s mind-blowing.
Paris Saint-Germain appear to be accepting the reality that Kylian Mbappe will go for free.
Following months of conjecture and debate, the French superstar appears to be on his way to Real Madrid ahead of the 2022/23 season, when his contract with PSG expires.
Les Parisiens turned down a proposal of roughly £145.8 million in the summer of 2021 – the same summer that Mbappe’s contract was set to expire – and again in January 2022, hoping to persuade the three-time Ligue 1 Player of the Year to extend his contract.
