“FREE”. The Madrid sports daily AS has chosen a simple word that says a lot to evoke on its front page, this Friday, December 31, the situation of Kylian Mbappé. Indeed, from this Saturday, January 1, the PSG striker, whose contract ends on June 30, will be free to negotiate and sign a new lease with any other club. And AS underlines that he can thus commit to Real Madrid at any time.
“His actions in recent months show that he only thinks of playing in white”, we can read in the articles devoted to the French striker who has just celebrated his 23 years. It is therefore no coincidence that the photo montage showing him celebrating a goal is set at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
A serious update at CNN
But AS also points out that Mbappé himself recently made a serious update on his situation in an interview given in English to CNN. “It’s not really the time for me to talk about it because we are in the most important part of the season and we face Real Madrid (in the round of 16 of the Champions League), he insisted. So the only thing I have in mind is to beat Real Madrid in February and March. We are ready and I am ready to play and give my all for PSG. “
For several months, the Madrid press has regularly devoted its Unes to the French. This is particularly the case with Marca. But, on December 31, the latter chose to honor the American gymnast Simone Biles “icon of world sport”.
He will undoubtedly have many other opportunities to talk about Mbappé in the days and weeks to come.
