Kylian Mbappé, French World Cup scorer, could announce his departure from Paris Saint-Germain in a few weeks, putting Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Liverpool on red alert.
That is according to Spanish outlet Sport, which claims that the 24-year-old is increasingly dissatisfied with the French club and the execution of the sports project offered to him, so much so that he will announce his decision to change clubs as soon as possible. . he returns to Paris.
United have reportedly already expressed interest, with Wayne Rooney recently spreading the word by saying the Red Devils “would be perfect” for Mbappe.
The France superstar only signed a new contract with PSG in the summer and did so despite intense speculation that he was set to move to Madrid.
Instead, he signed a three-year, £827,000-a-week contract to remain at the club, even granting him some influence at board level in Paris.
However, some circles suggest that Mbappé is not happy playing center forward in Cristophe Galtier’s 3-4-2-1 system and would prefer to enjoy a free role on the left at club level, as he does with the French national team. .
Sport also suggests that the World Cup Golden Boot winner wants to move in search of a new challenge to improve as a player.
The report also mentions sporting “ups and downs” this season at PSG, though given that the club is unbeaten in all competitions under Galtier, it would seem that any malaise on Mbappé’s pitch exists on a more personal level.
With Lionel Messi returning to his best for club and country, and Neymar possibly surpassing Mbappe for his club, the France star might simply want to move to a club where he is the undoubted talisman.
Whether United would even entertain the idea of ​​competing for the signing of such a high-earning player is up for debate and may largely depend on how the Red Devils’ ownership situation pans out.
PSG’s determination to keep Mbappé paid off in the summer and it would be hard to imagine the Qatar-owned club even listening to offers for a player they see as the future of their project.
But Sport believes these problems could be overcome, with the superstar reportedly willing to take a pay cut and hoping that PSG’s owners would be open to making a “gesture” to negotiate a sub-€150m transfer.
His camp has done its part, Sport says, by staying at PSG until after the World Cup in Qatar and now he should be allowed to leave next summer.
Whatever the case, it’s clear that a lot would have to happen before Manchester United’s Kylian Mbappe became a serious possibility.
