Kylian Mbappe informs PSG of departure, with Chelsea and Arsenal to face consequences
Kylian Mbappe is reportedly planning to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season. The 24-year-old has expressed his desire to leave to the club’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi. His contract with PSG expires on June 30, making him a free agent. The details of his exit and whether PSG will receive any compensation are still being worked out.
Real Madrid is believed to be Mbappe’s preferred destination, and there is mutual interest on their part. However, there is still time for potential twists and turns before the summer transfer window. PSG is also looking for a replacement for Mbappe and is reportedly considering Victor Osimhen from Napoli for a summer transfer. According to reports, PSG is eyeing Osimhen for a lucrative summer switch, despite competition from other clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea, who have been interested in the Nigerian striker.
PSG will have significant financial resources available after Mbappe’s departure, as his hefty salary of £171 million per season will be off their books. While Chelsea, Arsenal, and other clubs interested in Osimhen may struggle to compete with PSG’s financial prowess, it remains to be seen if other major European clubs will challenge Real Madrid for Mbappe. There have been reports linking Mbappe to Arsenal and Liverpool in the past, but any move would require a substantial reconfiguration of the Premier League clubs’ wage structures. Mbappe’s potential departure from PSG marks a significant shift in the club’s direction, as they aim to move away from signing high-profile stars.
The exits of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Sergio Ramos in the past year, coupled with Mbappe’s possible departure, signal a new era for the Parisian club.
