Kylian Mbappe Reveals He's Staying at PSG, Snubbing Real Madrid ... (Sports Illustrated)

The French superstar isn't going anywhere after all, spurning a long-expected move to Real Madrid to stay put.

PSG’s offer was strong enough for Mbappé to spurn a move to the club he has reportedly longed to play for since he was a boy. Mbappé, meanwhile, stays at PSG and continues to team with Lionel Messi and Neymar in the most star-studded attacking trident on the planet. On the club level, he won a Ligue 1 title with Monaco and then four more with PSG, while also capturing seven other domestic trophies. ... This summer my ambition was clear, I wanted to leave and put the club in the best circumstances to bring in my replacement.” The decision is the culmination of a yearlong process that nearly took a drastic turn last summer, when Madrid tried to pry Mbappé from PSG during the transfer window. Mbappé confirmed that he had asked for a transfer despite his contract having a year to run, but he could have signed a pre-contract with Real Madrid as early as Jan. 1 had he wanted to fully commit.

Kylian Mbappe picks PSG over Real Madrid: New contract details ... (Sporting News AU)

Just days after announcing that he would make his transfer decision before the end of May, PSG have confirmed Kylian Mbappe has signed a new contract.

PSG may have gone out of their way to appease the player to ensure he remained with his hometown club. According to Fabrizio Romano, his Madrid sources were "more than confident" in securing a deal, and personal terms had reportedly been agreed. Transfer experts across the board had Los Blancos as the clear favorite to land his signature. Sky says that the PSG signing bonus will also be in the region of £100 million ($125 million) with a monthly salary (£4 million / $5 million) that doubles his current PSG pay. It might very well be that Mbappe was genuinely torn between the two sides. Do not be surprised to see him use the Mbappe episode - especially if UEFA find in PSG’s favour - as apparent evidence that the current model is unsustainable. Sky Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio told Sky Sports News that Mbappe could have “more power in the group… After Haaland and Mbappe both snubbed La Liga — Haaland opted to join Manchester City in the Premier League — Tebas has reacted with indignation. It's a remarkable about-face from the tone of reports, which for months made it look like Mbappe was all but sure to sign with Real Madrid, a club that he grew up admiring. The Super League. It’s worth remembering that Madrid supremo Florentino Perez remains an advocate of the controversial breakway project. These rules are key to protect and sustain hundreds of thousands of jobs. But for the past six months he has firmly maintained that no deal had been agreed with any club.

Kylian Mbappe Will Never Achieve True Greatness Staying In France (Forbes)

The French striker has signed a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain, but needs to leave the comforts of home to properly test himself.

Their sporting director Leonardo is leaving, and it is expected their manager Mauricio Pochettino will also be leaving this summer. They had an agreement in place, and were getting ready to welcome him. I wanted to stay here in France, and in Paris; I have always said Paris is my house. In 1982, Michel Platini swapped Saint-Etienne for Juventus, where he won two Serie A titles, when it was the strongest league in the world, and the Champions League. He was also recognised as the best in the world, winning the Ballon d’Or three times. To be really tested; to really prove he is the best player in the world, Mbappe needed to make the step to a more competitive league this summer. Mbappe had nearly moved to Spain in the summer of 2021, but Paris Saint-Germain turned down a bid worth €200 million and forced him to see out the final year of his contract, and use the time to persuade him to sign a new one.

What Kylian Mbappe's decision means for Paris Saint-Germain ... (ESPN Australia)

Well, that was unexpected! While Kylian Mbappe's impending move to Real Madrid seemed like the worst-kept secret in sports, the French superstar made a last- ...

Mbappe was supposed to lead Madrid into a new era and also serve as a reminder that Real Madrid still are a superclub that attracts superstars. The one bright spot in all of this, I guess, is the one position that Madrid seem set at for the next decade: left wing. Pathetically, he only ranks in the 98th percentile for progressive passes received and in the 83rd for progressive passes played. Across the other 10 positions, though, there are a lot of questions and not as many answers. Of course, Mbappe could just join Madrid in three years, but three years is a really long time in the soccer world. While Madrid have won a couple of LaLiga titles recently and are back in the final of the Champions League, they're still between eras. Had Kane signed a three-year deal like the one Mbappe just signed, he could have left Spurs last summer on his own volition and made a ton of money in the process. Per FBref's average-age metric, which is adjusted for playing time, Madrid clock in at 28.5 -- the 22nd-highest mark of the 98 teams across Europe's 'Big Five' leagues. As for that lopsided talent, the Mbappe-Messi-Neymar trio underwhelmed this season, and it's still unclear whether a team with three attackers who don't defend at all can perform consistently enough to win the Champions League. In the end, they were right and we were wrong. ESPN's Julien Laurens has reported that Mbappe may have a say in the makeup of the club's front office. ESPN reports that Mbappe rejected PSG's longer-term offers in favor of a three-year deal.

Mbappé commemorated the deal by scoring a hat-trick in Paris Saint-Germain’s 5-0 win over Metz in their final match of the season, bringing his league goal total for the season up to 28. Mbappé initially joined Paris Saint-Germain on a season loan from Monaco back in 2017, eventually signing a permanent deal worth €180 million (AU$268 million). Since then, he’s helped the club win four Ligue 1 titles in five seasons. Real Madrid had been aggressively pursuing the superstar and had reportedly agreed on a deal that would’ve included a signing-on fee of around $225 million.
