As time passes and Kylian Mbappé nears the end of his contract, Paris Saint-Germain are looking for the solution to keep the French international. And the capital club could give him additional responsibility next season to convince him to sign a new lease in the City of Light.
“I think I discovered a lot here and I feel it’s time to have more responsibilities. I hope maybe it will be here at Paris Saint-Germain, maybe it will be somewhere else with another project. In any case, I would like to say thank you.” On May 19, 2019, during the UNFP Trophies evening, Kylian Mbappé dropped a real bomb on his future in the Parisian capital. Finally, three years later, the tricolor world champion is still at Paris Saint-Germain but not for long since his contract expires next June.
Five years after his arrival from AS Monaco, the French international (54 caps, 26 goals) is therefore preparing to leave the Parisian ship, unless a last minute extension arrives. It is obviously the will of the club of the capital whereas Real Madrid still dreams of attracting the child of Bondy in its nets. But we have to believe that behind the scenes, the Parisian board has not forgotten the declarations of Kylian Mbappé made two years ago.
Marquinhos’s armband to Mbappé?
Because in an attempt to convince the former Monegasque to extend, Paris Saint-Germain could indeed give him more responsibilities, in any case a big one. As the daily reports The Team in its edition of the day, the recent eighth finalist of the Champions League could offer the captain’s armband, now owned by Marquinhos, for next season to the principal concerned in order to tip the balance in the right direction for an extension of contract.
With this role of captain from this summer, Kylian Mbappé would thus be at the heart of the Parisian project and would therefore have more responsibilities, as he had demanded in 2019 during this mixed zone that no one has forgotten. It now remains to know the position of the Parisian striker who is still as successful in Parisian colors, he who has scored 26 goals and delivered 17 assists in 37 matches in all competitions this season.
