Kylian Mbappé is living his last months with the PSG shirt in a rarefied context. The 26-year-old forward, who has already announced that he will not renew his contract with Paris, went to the substitute bench and only entered 18 minutes from the epilogue in the 2-2 draw against Reims, on matchday 25 of Ligue 1 , which his club leads with a ten-point lead. The ultras in the Parc des Princes and off stage have already expressed their disagreement with the decision. And the striker, according to reports from Europe, believes that Qatar Sports Investments wants to damage his image with the fans, to clean up their own.

For this reason, as indicated by L’Equipe and expanded by El País, there is a million-dollar underground agreement so that the farewell is “in peace.” Kiki would contribute money “from his pocket” to rebuild the team without his presence. And, at the same time, the leadership, headed by Nasser Al Khelaifi, may argue that the great figure left, but that they did not let him go “for free” to Real Madrid, where his destiny inevitably seems to lie.

The Spanish team would have offered Kylian a bonus of 150 million euros (163 million dollars), which would be divided into five payments to be able to acquire his signature. The salary of 15 million euros per year ($16.3 million) is added. If we add to this the commercial contracts that the French forward could access, his earnings would amount to 50 million euros (54.3) per year.

Well, the agreement with PSG would imply giving up around 80 million euros for breaking the agreement due to “loyalty”. And complement with part of the bonus he receives from Merengue to reach between 100 and 150 million in order to close the farewell “on good terms.”

The landing of the world champion with France in Russia 2018 would include in the package the accompaniment of his younger brother, Ethan, 17 years old, who has already made his debut for PSG. Faced with this request from Mbappé’s entourage, with his mother as the spearhead, the Real Madrid leadership would not have objected and in this way both would join the professional squad in the second half of the year. Another name that could move with the Ninja Turtle is that of Achraf Hakimi, the laner who is his friend and partner on the playing field.

After the duel against Reims, Luis Enrique was asked if his new role is to be a star in the Champions League and a replacement in the French League. “I can only wish Kylian Mbappé the best in the future and present. He is an incredible player and an even better person. I wish you the best of the best. Is it clear?” He surprised him with his retort. “This was not my question,” the reporter told him. “But that’s my answer,” the counselor concluded.

In the Old Continent they emphasize that both parties are looking for the best moment to communicate the terms of a goodbye that, with the wallet involved, may have the framework of diplomacy.
