Foot PSG – PSG and Mbappé have been tricky, Monaco cries 35 million euros lost!
PSG formalized on Saturday the extension of Kylian Mbappé’s contract until 2025. But a priori, the two parties have organized themselves so as not to have to pay 35 million euros to AS Monaco, a remainder of the 2019 transfer .
Shortly before the start of the Paris-Metz match, Paris Saint-Germain translated to the media, including Foot01, a very clear press release: ” Paris Saint-Germain is proud to announce the extension of Kylian Mbappé’s contract for three more seasons. The French international striker is now linked to the capital club until June 30, 2025. “An announcement that allows the French Ligue 1 champion not to see his star leave for Real Madrid for free, which is a first great financial operation. However, in order to respect a clause signed with AS Monaco in 2017, it is demanded that Nasser Al-Khelaifi would have to pay 35 million euros to the Principality club, the price to be paid if the tricolor striker extended his initial contract. Enough to start the transfer window well for Monaco, which in addition can consider negotiating with PSG for Aurélien Tchouameni. But this scenario seems to have been shattered following the clarification provided by Nasser Al-Khealaifi. A precision that is worth 35 million euros.

Confiding on Canal+ Sport, the president of Paris Saint-Germain recalled the conditions of Kylian Mbappé’s extension, explaining that the tricolor star had signed a new contract, since he was free to sign where he wanted since the January 1 last. ” People probably forgot something is that Kylian was a free agent since January. So today, on a new player signed, it’s not an extension with a player. For me it’s the best transfer we’ve done, because we signed with the best footballer in the world. He is Parisian, he loves his city, his club and his country too “Said Nasser Al-Khelaifi at the microphone of Olivier Tallaron. What will trigger some on the side of Monaco, where you can have the feeling of being the turkey of the farce in this story, which is not far from the case. Unless the PSG boss is wrong in his answer, an unlikely hypothesis, the Principality club may not be idly by. And a little revenge can even be granted this transfer window.
Tchouameni at PSG, Monaco could take revenge
Luis Campos, the new sporting director of Paris Saint-Germain and former manager of AS Monaco, wants to recruit Aurélien Tchouameni, a player coveted by many clubs … including Real Madrid. If PSG really skips the 35 million euro bill for Kylian Mbappé’s real-false extension, Dmitri Rybolovlev may well say ” nothing to negotiations with Nasser Al-Khelaifi. On social networks, Monegasque supporters all thought the same thing. ” Shouldn’t be surprised if ASM makes a special psg price in the future.. they will laugh in the offices in front of PSG’s offer for Tchouameni », « Are we awaiting the reaction of the French sports media? For the good of French football to want to do it upside down to the one who arranged them. Leader with little virtue », « And to think that the club lent them Mbappé with an obligation to buy so that they get into the nails of financial fair play…… », the reactions are numerous and all on the same side of the Rock.
