Seen reports that if he leaves on a free that they will be in massive financial trouble which I do not understand really?
Financially and FFP wise, they would be as they basically have to pay him a loyalty bonus and he leaves for free.
Is probably a swing of about £300 million (£150 million fee and I believe bonus is the same).
It is something that should have been considered when they offered him the contract extension.
They overstretched to try and save the day and keep him.
There seems to be this agreement that Mbappe is supposed to have where he said he would not leave on a free.
They then seem to have him run it down and assume he has to renew based on what he said.
The truth for me is that in 2021 Real offered €200 million for him when he had one year left. It was a generous offer and despite PSG not wanting to sell it was the right course.
They then rejected it and offered this new deal, I believe Mbappe believed at that point his agreement to not go on a free was over and he could earn a very significant amount of money both these 2 years at PSG and then moving on a free to Madrid.
It’s an issue Qatar have made themselves (possibly based on wanting to have the WC stars at PSG during the WC in Qatar) and now they are paying that price.
Hope it does cause them issues TBH
