It goes without saying that Kylian Mbappe is Paris Saint-Germain’s most prized asset. Every news media outlet dealing in football news has been linking the teen World Cup winner to Real Madrid amongst all other clubs, owing to two reasons.
Firstly, because the youngster idolises Cristiano Ronaldo and would definitely want to follow in CR7’s footsteps by donning the white shirt at Real Madrid.
Secondly, Real Madrid have had the Galactico policy in store for about two decades now. So many of the world’s greatest players have been Madrid players at some point in their careers, and Mbappe’s unbelievable talent makes him a surefire Madrid player some time in the future.
All that said, his current employers, PSG are well aware of Mbappe’s desire to go to Madrid and are also at the risk of the Frenchman entering the final year of his contract, set to expire in 2022.
PSG director Leonardo had an interesting update to give regarding the contractual situation of Mbappe at the club. The 21-year-old, much like Ronaldo at Juventus, wants to be involved in sporting decisions at the club if he is to extend his stay at the French capital.
In simpler words, the player will be consulted and will have a say regarding the style of play, possibly the arrival or the departure of the managers at the club, as well as a say in the direction that the club takes.
Considering his overall influence and importance to the club, involving Mbappe in decisions pertaining to the roster could be beneficial for PSG in the long run. He is their best player right now, and recently celebrated his 100th goal for the club.
So far in Ligue 1 this season, he has scored 10 and assisted 5 in 9 matches for the Parisians. Of course, Mbappe is destined to be a Madrid player someday in the future. But Paris seem to be willing to do everything in their power to keep their superstar happy and committed to the club.
