If you think you\u2019re hearing faint sounds of someone sobbing, there\u2019s no need to be alarmed as that\u2019s probably the woeful mourning of Real Madrid\u2019s manager Zinedine Zidane and club president Florentino P\u00e9rez as they learn of the recent news that Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 is considering a lusciously lucrative contract extension as an enticement to remain at Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n
Acccording to\u00a0L\u2019Equipe<\/em>\u00a0Mbapp\u00e9 is said to be happy in Paris and Nasser Al-Khelaifi, PSG\u2019s president, is reportedly prepared to offer the 21-year-old FIFA World Cup winner a contract extension that would bring his wages on par with his teammate, Neymar Jr.<\/p>\n Neymar\u2019s wages are currently almost double that of Mbapp\u00e9, which is quizzical considering both are at par in world-class ability, with the Brazilian also in line to receive a contract extension according to\u00a0ESPN.<\/p>\n Mbappe\u2019s current contract with PSG would have run its full term in 2022 and it was reported \u00a0that Real Madrid planned to wait until the summer of 2021 to make their bid, with the idea being that PSG wouldn\u2019t want to lose their superstar on a free the following season and would be willing to negotiate.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a possibility PSG could keep Mbapp\u00e9 until 2022 and let him leave on a free transfer but obviously, the ideal outcome for any PSG fan would be that Mbapp\u00e9 signs a contract extension now to quell the transfer rumors.<\/p>\n With the prevailing atmosphere of gloom due to the coronavirus, the uncertainty of the transfer market augurs in favor of PSG in hopefully extending Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s and Neymar\u2019s tenures as few clubs could realistically afford their transfer fee and wages. If that were to happen, Al-Khelaifi and PSG\u2019s sporting director Leonardo could well deserve their own statues outside the Parc des Princes for playing their cards with such brilliant astuteness and composure to trump the opposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
