Mbappe gave up a huge sum to be brought back to PSG
The management of Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappe have concluded a gentlemen's agreement between themselves, which has led to his return to the composition of Luis Enrique, claims "Equip". The French champions star has reportedly been left out of the first team during pre-season and even missed PSG's opening game of the season due to his refusal to extend his contract with the club, which expires in less than a year. Although an agreement on a contract renewal is still missing, Mbappe was brought back into the squad and even scored five goals in three games in Ligue 1.
According to the publication, the reason for pardoning the attacker is that he agreed to give up a number of bonuses, saving the club over 100 million euros. Among the bonuses in question is the one for loyalty in the amount of 60-80 million euros. In principle, the player is entitled to this money, since he remained at the club in the new season as well. However, he officially refused to receive such payments, which appeased the management enough to allow his reintegration into the team.
Although this deal does not necessarily mean that there will be a contract re-signing, PSG expect to convince Mbappe to extend it at least until the summer of 2025. To this end, the Parisians will have until January 2, when the French international will be able to negotiate freely with any other club for a transfer as a free agent after the end of the season. The club will do everything possible to keep hold of their goalscorer, while Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on the situation, waiting for the opportunity to sign him for free. Liverpool are ready to compete with Los Blancos for the 24-year-old player.
