Ligue 1 starts again this Saturday. The champions get a chance on Saturday night, with Paris Saint-Germain hosting FC Lorient in front of their home crowd. Many supporters will go to Prince Park to admire Kylian Mbappé. But the France international striker will neither be on the pitch nor on the substitutes’ bench. Mbappé has been considered undesirable at Paris Saint-Germain for two weeks. He should either extend his contract, which expires next year, by a year until 2025 or leave the club this month. Mbappé, on the other hand, will receive a hand money of 180 million euros if he only changes in a year.
Is this the crucial week for Europe’s most expensive player? As the summer progresses and the end date of this summer’s transfer window approaches, the pressure mounts. For the player who may spend a whole season in the stands if Paris Saint-Germain makes the threats come true, but also for the capital club, which only has a good three weeks to find a solution. Meanwhile, Real Madrid remain silent and are said to be waiting until just before the end of August transfer window closes to start promoting in earnest. Then Paris Saint-Germain has its back against the wall.
