The impending departure of Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this summer as a free agent has sparked widespread speculation about his next destination. While many anticipate a move to Real Madrid, some observers have questioned why there hasn’t been more interest from Premier League clubs in securing the services of the talented forward.
Journalist Romain Molina expressed surprise at the apparent lack of a bidding war for Mbappé, suggesting that unrealistic demands may have deterred English clubs from pursuing him.
“Why aren’t there more clubs on him? Why don’t the English go there? Because at one point, there were crazy, unrealistic demands,” Molina said (h/t Le10Sport). Molina’s remarks allude to internal discussions within PSG, where Mbappé is described as having “escaped the control of his master,” likening him to a modern-day Frankenstein.
The fallout from Mbappé’s decision to leave PSG is reportedly being keenly felt within the club, particularly by president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. Despite Al-Khelaïfi’s efforts to accommodate Mbappé’s wishes over the past two years, including the appointment of sporting advisor Luis Campos, the conclusion of the transfer saga has been difficult to accept.
With the Mbappé saga nearing its end, PSG is poised to enter a new phase. Closing this chapter will allow the club to focus on rebuilding and moving forward without the distraction of ongoing speculation surrounding Mbappé’s future. As the summer transfer window approaches, the football world eagerly awaits Mbappé’s next move and the impact it will have on both PSG and the broader landscape of European football.
