This stark reversal of Daniel Riolo highlights the contrasting opinions in the Mbappe-PSG saga and raises questions about the working and dynamics behind the scenes at Paris Saint Germain. As Kylian Mbappe remains locked in contractual obligations with PSG, with his current deal set to expire next summer, it will be interesting to see Mbappe’s stance on this.

At the start of the season, the relationship between Mbappe and PSG was highly tense, as the star forward was banished from PSG’s training session for a week. Kylian Mbappe, however, is reportedly determined to secure a move to Real Madrid. Although he’s aware that a January transfer is off the table, the 24-year-old remains unwavering in his desire to leave Paris next summer.

Is Mbappe’s departure inevitable?

Kylian Mbappe’s contract with the Parisians is set to expire at the end of the next season, and he has so far refused to sign any new deal with PSG. This points out the fact that Mbappe will be a free agent next summer, and can join any club he wishes for. Real Madrid are heavily linked to become Mbappe’s next destination, as they are reportedly confident to sign a deal with him.
