A few days ago, Mbappe's personal friend posted a photo of the French star packing his bags and preparing to move on social media, which suddenly attracted countless speculations. There is almost unanimous agreement that this is a disguised official announcement that Mbappe is preparing to move to Madrid and switch to Real Madrid.
However, the plot took a big turn a few days later. According to the French media Parisian newspaper, Mbappe agreed to renew his contract with Paris Grande, and the two sides reached a contract for a period of two years plus a one-year extension option. The annual salary is 50 million euros (after tax) and the signing fee is 100 million euros. The two sides have not yet officially signed, but Mbappe has agreed to the contract in principle, and his team has informed Real Madrid that the players have chosen to stay in Paris.
Shortly after the news broke, the authoritative transfer expert Romano tweeted two tweets on his personal social media, saying that the news was not true and that Mbappe had not yet made a final decision. Mbappe's mother also spoke out again, saying the news was false and that Mbappe wanted to make a decision on the premise of calm and respect for all parties, and now was not the time.
The News of Le Parisien has no source, it was almost suddenly exposed, and its authenticity remains to be verified. However, according to the voices of many parties, Mbappe has indeed not reached a formal agreement with Real Madrid and any club in Paris.
Mbappe now seems calm, but one thing not to forget. As long as Mbappe does not choose to renew his contract, then his ambition is to join Real Madrid. The reason for not speaking out at this stage is to wait until the end of the contract period, and the second is to make his last days in Greater Paris less embarrassing, but also out of respect for Greater Paris. Real Madrid did not have such frequent news as paris, precisely because they had a tacit understanding with Mbappe.
Le Parisien, as the mouthpiece of Paris, published such news at this time, which was actually intentional. At this juncture, seeing that there is no hope of renewing Mbappe, Paris has to resort to some unconventional means. Public opinion pressure is one of them. Let his mouthpiece media release some news that Mbappe seems to have decided to renew his contract, just to put pressure on the French. If he still chooses to join Real Madrid without hesitation, then Paris can describe him as a "betrayer" and thus destroy Mbappe's public image.
