When PSG Community reported that the Princes’ Park team had agreed to sell Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid for 250 million euros with an additional fee. That is probably the affirmation for the demise of this team.
A month ago, PSG said goodbye to Lionel Messi quietly. The greatest player in history docked in Paris in the summer of 2021 with a lot of expectations. As a result, apart from two Ligue 1 titles two seasons in a row (which is almost the default), the Champions League remains a distant dream for PSG. The way the French fans treated the Argentine legend was also too harsh in his final days in Paris. All this caused the “Messi project” to collapse in shame. The Eiffel Tower is still there, but the Messi Tower is no longer in Paris.
Two weeks before Messi came to MLS to play for Inter Miami club, the news that Neymar “heard” with Manchester United also surfaced. Although this transfer is more of a political trick, it is inevitable that thoughts related to this capital team can be avoided. Neymar and his old fox father always act with calculation and purpose. Before Neymar, one of the longest-serving players in the team, midfielder Marco Verratti, also expressed his desire to leave PSG. With 11 years of working at the Park of the Princes, Verratti is not only a first-class god, but he is also the first stone in the plan to build a PSG star castle. Losing Verratti, a part of PSG’s history also followed. In the money vortex of the Saudi Pro League championship, big-name stars are pouring in. And the talented Italian midfielder is also suspected of running there.
And now, the “child of Paris”, the last “jewel” of PSG, Kylian Mbappe has officially … “on the floor”. Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Than, who owns PSG, is said to have reached an agreement on Mbappe’s case with Real Madrid President Florentino Perez. 10 days ago, with the announcement that he would not renew his contract with PSG, meaning that Mbappe could be free to leave next summer, PSG was on the balance between losing Mbappe after half a billion euros on one side. Investing in this comrade, with the continued abandonment of the team’s soul to the Champions League game – Mbappe, it would be foolish to choose option 2. The story here is whether Real will play and bear the cost. to what extent? Real Madrid is not a club that weighs a few coins. In contrast to Perez, spending a large amount of money is a way to expand his name and affordability. As Alex Ferguson described it, “They spent that much money, not only to buy a player, but to say: we are Real Madrid, and Real Madrid will act like this!” Here, the figure of 250 million euros given is too high compared to a 1-year contract for a player who has no longer left his soul in France.
But above all there are signs: Failure after failure, the sell-off of the star, the silence of politics. Is there an exodus of Qatari owners?
