With Paris Saint-Germain giving Mbappe a €150 million stay bonus + €40 million annual salary after tax + 100% portrait rights, the likelihood of the French striker staying at his old club is increasing.
If Mbappe does not choose to join Real Madrid, it will be a fundamental change to the transfer market this summer. Whether it is Barca, Real Madrid or Manchester City, they may need to reformulate their own reinforcement plans.
01. Kylian Mbappe stays in Paris: Neymar's departure will be a high probability
One of the troubles of the current Paris Saint-Germain line-up is that both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar like to be on the left side of the team. After Neymar's recent comeback, he played more like a left-back, leaving the left side of the penalty area to the popular Mbappe.
It's like in the last ligue 1 round, when you saw Neymar insert himself into the box twice from midfield and score two goals in response to Mbappe's pass. Few people noticed that Neymar passed the ball to Gaye in the midfield position during the offensive and defensive transition, bringing Mbappe's explosive score.
In this season's Paris Saint-Germain squad, Neymar's steals, fouls and number of passes on the defensive end are higher than mbappe and Messi combined.
The problem is that Neymar is also 30 years old, and he may not necessarily continue to accept a full-back role, while also taking on the "responsibility" of the team after the Champions League is out.
Given Paris Saint-Germain's cost-effective retention plans, Neymar, who has clashed with Kylian Mbappe in both position and ball, may be in the transfer market this summer.
In this way, Paris Saint-Germain is also more conducive to establishing a strategic approach with Mbappe as the core, further building left-side tactics around him.
The new manager who could take over the team in the summer is Zidane, a manager who attaches great importance to the rhythm of attack and defense conversion, and can better play to Mbappe's speed advantage.
Perhaps this is also the confidence that Paris can retain Mbappe, not only through the 150 million euros of stay-and-sign bonuses and the same amount of wages, the total price exceeds the 300 million banknote capacity in 2 years.
02. Barca may retain Dembele: it will help Xavi implement his tactics
If Mbappe chooses to stay in Paris, dembele has a high probability of renewing his contract with Barca. Originally, the French had a verbal agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, which is why Barca had a difficult time negotiating with him.
Because of his great role under Xavi, Dembele's value has gradually been recognized by Barca fans and executives. Alemani even took the initiative to fly to Morocco to negotiate with dembele's agent, and he renewed hope with Barca.
From the perspective of Harvey's tactical system, the team needs to be strongly suppressed on the flanks and bring forward pressure on the overall formation. Because Barca's full-backs are all technically good, weak and athletic.
If the opponent continues to play the wing speed on the counter-attack, the pressure on Barca midfielder and back Bousquets is extreme. It is no accident that after Dembele became the main player, the gap between Barca's expected goals and expected goals conceded widened.
With Dembele, although his turnover rate is quite high, in fact, the opponent's formation is easy to be suppressed. After all, with Dembele's ability to cross, cut and break through with both feet, it is very unwise to face Dembele's formation premise.
Dembele's value may not be as great in other teams, but in Xavi's hands, it can play a role in opening up the whole system.
And because of Dembele's passing characteristics, it also allows the striker who is paired with him to only need to do a good job of "eating cake". Aubameyang, who was unsuccessful and sacked at Arsenal, has scored goals since coming to Barca, and thanks to this good brother.
Half of the former Arsenal captain's goals came from Dembele's assists, the remaining half of the goals, and 50% from Dembele's penultimate pass.
If Dembele can be renewed, Barca can save the transfer fee of bringing in new wingers to buy forwards or centre-backs to further improve the squad.
03. If Haaland goes to Real Madrid: then who will join Manchester City?
At present, Haaland's most likely places to go are Manchester City and Real Madrid, if Real Madrid can't get Kylian Kylian Mbappe and go all out to take down the Norwegian center forward, then Manchester City will need to find a new target.
If Neymar leaves Paris Saint-Germain, he is more likely to choose to land in the Premier League.
Considering that Neymar still has quite good running ability at present, when facing Real Madrid away in the Champions League knockout rounds, he has just returned from injury and has also run 10.31 kilometers in a deviated physical condition, so it is not too difficult to adapt to Manchester City's system.
After all, Neymar's style of playing is a combination of ball and no ball. He does have a good side, but Neymar has good passing and has a strong ability to put on the ball.
Under City's system, Neymar can also play more selflessly and team.
If Manchester City prefers to buy forwards and bring in Kane, this will also lead to greater changes in the Pattern of the Premier League, and there is also the possibility of Neymar joining Tottenham or Arsenal, bringing more chain reactions.
Conclusion:
Whether Kylian Mbappe ultimately chooses to stay in Paris or join Real Madrid, it will trigger a series of transfer market earthquakes. After all, if Mbappe is lost, even if the team is built around Messi, Paris will need to spend a lot of money to strengthen the front line, but it is not enough to get a Dembele without a visa.
If Mbappe stays in the team, it may disrupt the plans of more teams, and also give this summer's European football transfer market more to watch.
