Why did Mbappé break with Paris? Stimulated by Haaland, Benzema left the team and went to Real Madrid to become a hero

On Tuesday, Mbappe publicly stated that he would not renew his contract with Paris and would continue to play for Paris next season, meaning he would leave on a free transfer after a year. So why did Mbappe change his mind just 1 year after renewing his contract with Paris?

After the newspaper revealed that Mbappe had sent a letter to the club saying that he would not initiate the terms of his contract extension, Mbappe first quoted Le Parisien on social networks on Tuesday about his desire to join Real Madrid and debunked the rumors, "lies, more and more lies." I've said I'll stay in Paris next season and I'm happy. ”

Later, Mbappe's side issued a statement saying: "Mbappe has not asked to leave in the summer, but this is to confirm to the club that he will not activate the clause of the 1-year contract extension." ”

"To the regret of Mbappe and his entourage, the letter has been forwarded to the media and made public for the sole purpose of tarnishing his image and the smooth progress of the dialogue with the club."

The statement was deemed "harshly worded", however, the confident Le Parisien quickly analysed three reasons why Mbappe wanted to leave the team in the summer window.

First of all, Mbappe's relationship with the club is not good, and Mbappe's family is even used to making a joke that "Paris Saint-Germain, in fact, is a Saint-Germain prison".

Secondly, Mbappe was stimulated after Haaland won the treble and became a favourite for the Ballon d'Or. The newspaper noted that "Mbappe believes that he cannot win trophies, whether collectively or individually. In every year he competed for the Ballon d'Or, he was unable to win and was once again defeated after Haaland won the treble. ”

Thirdly, Benzema's departure has given Mbappe an opportunity to join Real Madrid in the summer window, "It's a great opportunity, he has always had an eternal desire to play for the biggest club in the world, he wants to go to Real Madrid as the number one star, this is his chance to become a hero at Real Madrid. ”
