Backed by the economic umbrella of the Emir of Qatar, PSG is a club that does not have any headaches when it hunts for players it considers necessary to reinforce its squad. The 222 million euros put on the table to get Neymar Barcelona, the most expensive signing in the history of football, exemplify the power of a club that is easy to get into, but very difficult to get out of for those who try before the end of their contracts. A true ordeal for those who go one step further and dare to challenge and rebel against the president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the man who controls everything in the Parisian team, as well as the one in charge of being accountable to the true owner of the team, the Emir of Qatar. From that fear, the public silence that has been maintained can be understood Kylian Mbappé since the Real Madrid The courtship of the French entity will begin to attempt a transfer that is still in the air and that reaches the last day of the market without being resolved. PSG has not even responded to the white offer.
If there is a difficult and complicated negotiator to convince in the world of football, that is Nasser Al-Khelaifi, a character whose pulse has never trembled when sending the reserve team or leaving ‘rebellious’ players in the stands. Donato di Campi, former agent of the Italian Marco Verrati, graphically defined PSG as a “golden prison” for footballers who try to leave the golden castle without the consent of their guardian. Raised in the Parisian team, the midfielder wanted to open the exit door early and in the summer of 2017 he communicated his intention not to renew his contract, which ended in June of the following year, to go to Barcelona. A case similar to the one that lives now Mbappé with Real Madrid, although without that component of rebellion that the Qatari leader hates so much.
With Verrati, the reaction of Al-Khelaifi it was as immediate as it was forceful. The player was pressured and the threat appeared on the chessboard: renewal or stand until the end of the course. The international’s desire to be able to play at the Camp Nou faded because he could not withstand that pressure and it took little time to change his representative. Already with Mino Raiola As a director, the agreement was reached to sign a new contract and continue in the French capital, where it still remains. The sheikh took note of that flinging of Barça with his player and months later came the signing of Neymar at the stroke of a checkbook. Real Madrid has known how to measure its steps very well so as not to unleash unnecessary wars with the sheikh.

But Verrati He is not the only one who has felt the pressure of Al-Khelaifi, a figure who in his more than ten years at the helm of PSG has always kept the pulse of the footballers whom he has classified as ‘rebels’. Adrien rabiot He finished his contract in June 2019, but his last game with the French club was in December 2018. The midfielder was removed from the team after the negotiations for a renewal of his contract failed, a situation that he reported to the league’s legal commission French. The player is now in his third season at Juventus, but those months of exile in the stands marked him.
In his youth, Nasser Al-Khelafi, The son of a pearl fisherman from Doha, he tried to make a name for himself in the world of tennis, the sport that allowed him to meet and establish a great friendship with the now emir of Qatar, whom he taught with the racket when he was a child. In 2011, after buying the club, Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani placed him at the helm of Paris Saint-Germain with a mandate to make them one of the best teams on the planet. For this he needs the best players and he does not skimp on the money to achieve it. Nor other resources to retain their stars and footballers who do not reach that poster.
It happened to the Brazilian Thiago Motta In 2015 when he was in negotiations to renew his contract with PSG and an offer appeared from Atlético de Madrid, in which he had played years before, the midfielder showed his desire to leave the club and even refused to play the first matches of preseason, but it failed to twist the will of the club’s owner, who came to issue veiled warnings to the Spanish club to get away from playing. The threat of touching her wardrobe appeared and the story is over. The end of Mbappé’s will be definitively known today.
