After Kylian Mbappé’s announcement of his departure at the end of the season, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of PSG, made a radical choice: that of celebrating the departure of the Bondynois.
Everything came out in the press on Thursday, but it was on Tuesday that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi learned the news. On the eve of the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Real Sociedad, the president of Paris Saint-Germain received confirmation from Kylian Mbappé of his departure at the end of the season.
For PSG, it is necessarily a hard blow to lose their top scorer, their standard. But the capital club was prepared for it, and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi did not suffer the blow. On the contrary, he took note of his player’s decision, which seals the end of a series, and puts an end to the slim hope that the Parisian president had of obtaining a new contract extension from the Bondynois.
“A sumptuous tribute” for Mbappé
And now, what will PSG do? Prepare for post-Mbappé, of course. But also manage the last months of the French international. Far from the pressure of last summer, when PSG sidelined Mbappé to encourage him to extend, it is now out of the question to do without the number 7 by the end of the season .
Mbappé promised that he would give everything for his club until June. And PSG, moreover, intends to mark the occasion. According to L’Equipe, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi “has already sent the message internally that it will be necessary to prepare a sumptuous tribute for the farewell of the top scorer in the club’s history, at the end of the season. » This sets the tone for the atmosphere of the last months of Mbappé’s Parisian history. The player and his club are expected to part ways on good terms.
