DBasia.news – Kylian Mbappe’s transfer saga continues to heat up. This time Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as the owner accused Real Madrid of an illegal approach.
It’s no secret that Madrid and Mbappe admire each other. The two sides even attempted to unite last summer.
Mbappe’s efforts were shown by refusing a contract extension from PSG. While Madrid has released a fantastic offer to convince Les Parisiens.
But PSG insisted on defending Mbappe. The French monster has no objections despite the threat of losing the player for free next year.
PSG was optimistic about being able to convince Mbappe to change his mind. But until now, the 22-year-old player remains in his position to refuse to increase his tenure.
PSG considers Mbappe’s gesture has something to do with Madrid. Leonardo as the sporting director suspects that Los Blancos have persuaded the former AS Monaco player to move to Spain on a free transfer.
“Real Madrid denies it, but I think they have tried to sign Mbappe (on a free transfer). They have spoken openly about Mbappe for two years and that should be sanctioned,” Leonardo told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Communicating with players who are under contract with other clubs is indeed prohibited. If proven, Madrid could be sentenced.
However, Leonardo’s accusations are challenging to prove in the eyes of the law. Unless there is a direct meeting between Madrid and Mbappe as was the case with Jose Mourinho and Ashley Cole a few years ago.
“I saw that their behavior was disrespectful towards Mbappe. He’s not just another player, he’s one of the best players in the world.”
“The coach, the board, the Real Madrid players have spoken about Kylian. I think it is part of their plan.”
Leonardo’s accusations could be a sign of PSG’s frustration with extending Mbappe’s contract. They are pressed for time.
Mbappe will be allowed to communicate with other clubs in other January. It was because his contract only had less than six months left.
The moment is believed to be used by Madrid to offer a pre-contract agreement. If it happens, PSG will no longer be able to prevent the departure of one of its best assets.
