  1. Terms of Mbappe’s PSG exit are yet to be finalised, but the French champions are covered under all eventualities, both financially and in terms of a succession plan.

    The key outstanding element is Mbappe keeping his promise to Al-Khelaifi and making PSG fully financially covered if he leaves on a free transfer. This may include forgoing €70-80m in bonuses, but Mbappe could also potentially pay PSG some/all of his Real signing-on fee. All options still to be discussed.

    PSG will also free up €200m-gross per year, so have a significant transfer budget for the summer.

    PSG have always had an Mbappe succession plan. Victor Osimhen, as revealed last month, is one top target.

    Rafael Leao and even Marcus Rashford (should he indicate he wishes to leave #MUFC) all names under consideration. And Benjamin Sesko is appreciated as well.

    And PSG will also look to add a midfielder and centre-back this summer. Gavi is one name on the list and PSG could rekindle their interest in Bernardo Silva or try for Bruno Guimarães.

    PSG’s philosophy is far more collective now. Gone are the ‘bling-bling’ days of player power. Club want to buy young and if possible French. That’s why a new deal for Warren Zaire-Emery is so key.

    Xavi Simons planned renewal is also important and shows the French-focused talent aspect is ideal but not rigid.

    Mbappe hasn’t signed anything yet with Real. He promised to inform Al-Khelaifi of his decision before committing to another club.

    Mbappe must also get a green light from Real to play in the Paris Olympics, something PSG had already given in their proposal.

    The Real offer is significantly lower than PSG’s renewal in terms of salary. However the €120-130m signing-on bonus Mbappe wants from Real, and image right agreements, brings the overall finances a bit closer.

  3. As an outsider, if I was a Psg fan right now i would be pissed; you lost a generational talent at 0

  4. Am I the only one to feel that Madrid is using the power of the media to influence this deal to go through?

  5. I hate to see Mbappé leave the club but PSG is in a much better place to handle his departure. There’s a lot of talent on this squad and PSG’s finances look great going into the Summer transfer window (close to 200m to work with). It’s no simple feat to replace a world class player like Mbappé but the future is certainly bright.

    Curious to see how this whole saga turns out in the end.

  6. Finally we can move on.
    Thank you for everything Kiki, good luck at Real.

  7. As a PSG and French NT its been real kylian but it was really time for you to leave and end this saga
