The last stages of the Frenchman’s potential transfer to Real Madrid have begun. PSG is considering Kane as a potential replacement, and the striker’s destiny will be decided on July 22, when he departs for Japan.
The pivotal week has arrived in Real Madrid’s pursuit of Kylian Mbappé, 24. The French striker has been setting things off since last week, but what happened in the last few hours urges a speedy resolution to the matter because he is still under pressure from Paris.
In the meantime, the player’s struggle with the Parisian entity continues to remain largely buried. Kylian is moving closer to Paris as he continues his summer tour without encountering any issue. After Miami, he spent a little time in Cameroon, the nation of his father, and will soon touch down in Algeria, the country of his mother. Four days before the first friendly for his still-club, on Monday, the 17th, he is expected to return to Camp des Loges, PSG’s sports city. Mbappé won’t be playing on July 21, but excluding him from game-related activities would start to create a bad situation. And much more so because PSG departs for a tour of Japan the very next day, on the 22nd. Al Kelafi applies pressure so that the Mbappé issue is not settled before that crucial date.
The Mbappé case’s upcoming crucial datesThe forward reports to the team in seven days; if his issue is not addressed before then, he will have to travel to Japan on July 22; and the club has set a deadline of July 31.
If there is no agreement before Mbappé, who has been visiting Cameroon and is now travelling to Algeria, has to return to work next Monday, July 17, along with the rest of the internationals, he would have to return to the group in seven days. The majority of Luis Enrique’s team, including Neymar, began practice today, and the first deadline Al Khelaifi set for the dispute’s resolution (he said it would be resolved in ten to two weeks to various French media outlets following Enrique’s introduction) falls on July 17. The PSG president would therefore try to prevent the striker from having to present himself to the rest of the group and prevent that all of this situation affects the chemistry of the group and the performance of the new coach. According to several French media outlets, the PSG president also received complaints from up to six players regarding Kylian’s last words, assuring that winning the Ballon d’Or at PSG was very complicated.
Promotional visit to Japan on July 22On July 22, PSG departs on its trip of Japan. Another important day. If the issue regarding your group’s upcoming trip has not been handled, it is typical. With Messi’s departure, it is clear that this is the major claim of the trip. Leaving the leading celebrity in Paris under pressure or possibly because he has already planned his exit would be a drastic move. For his part, the player plans to stay in his role, go on the tour with the rest of the team, and become a new member of Luis Enrique’s team.
First friendly on July 25, and Luis Enrique makes a choicePSG plays its first friendly match at the Yanmar Nagaid stadium in Osaka three days into the tour. The first game at the new Poissy training facility is on July 21, although Luis Enrique typically does not have him since it would require four days of preparation. However, the coach’s choice is crucial for the clash in Japan. What the coach decides will reveal more about the club’s intentions and the Mbappé case strategy that will be implemented. Before returning to Paris, on August 1 against Inter in Tokyo, and on July 28 against Cerezo Osaka in another friendly.
Key date in his current deal is July 31.Legally, if Mbappé notifies his employer by July 31 he has the opportunity to extend his contract for one more year, till 2025. Al Khelaifi stated that PSG is still open to this possibility, although the striker stated the opposite in his letter dated June 12. As a result, it appears like a remote possibility. The club gave the player until July 31 in its letter to negotiate a contract renewal or sale. The club would still be open to offers as of August 1, although it is unclear what course of action will be taken. His automatic renewal would already be ruled out, but the footballer has already been presented with a new contract by the club on various occasions, and the club confirms in the footballer’s letter that there have been numerous discussions over this. PSG plays its inaugural Ligue 1 match at Parc des Princes on August 13.
