Bad Blood Between Mbappe and PSG Countinues
Cold War in Paris

Rumors started last year when speed demon Mbappe penned a letter to PSG. He said ‘no thanks’ to extending his contract past 2024. Paris Saint Germain had big dreams of building a European super team around this shooting star, but that dream is looking foggy, what with the Mbappé contract with PSG being on the line, now.
Mbappe’s current deal lets him extend his stay at Parc des Princes until the 2025 soccer season, but he reported to the club about not wanting to renew it in a letter last July. His relationship with the Ligue 1 club went downhill after that.
Adding fuel to the fire, Mbappe sent another letter to PSG. He explained his reasons for not extending his contract. But, instead of clearing the air, this letter ramped up the public tiff between him and the club.
PSG’s Warning
During the introduction of the new head coach, Luis Enrique, PSG boss Nasser Al-Khelaifi didn’t beat around the bush. He put it plainly: Mbappe should extend his contract or pack his bags this summer.
Even though PSG is ready to patch things up with the 24-year-old, they’re definitely considering cashing in on him. They’re not about to let a ligue 1 player of Mbappe’s caliber leave for free. They say the money spent on renewing the Mbappé contract with PSG should go towards a future transfer or keeping him past June 2024, which was the original deal with the player.
PSG: Mbappé Has Dealt a Damaging Blow to the Club
PSG even accused Mbappe in the letter of not playing fair, saying he did the club dirty. His refusal to extend the contract just two months after the ink dried on the new black-n-white has been a big blow, especially damaging to the team’s image because he publicly announced his decision to leave.
The letter they sent also talked about organizing a meeting with Mbappé to find a way around or the best solution: either a contract renewal or a transfer to avoid paralyzing the club. PSG has given Mbappe and his team until July 31 to decide their next move before they start looking for possible buyers. The Mbappé contract with PSG is no light or laughing matter.
Despite the accusation, the team the Paris Saint Germain doesn’t have many cards to play. They could bench Mbappe, but sidelining their best PSG player is only going to get fans hot under the collar.
Bids for the French Comet
The bad blood between Mbappe and PSG shows no signs of slowing down. Meanwhile, word on the street is that Liverpool has made a whopping €200 million bid for the player, although Real Madrid is still the favorite to snap up the former Monaco star, keeping a close eye on the situation while they get ready to make a big-money move for the French sensation.
The soccer world holds its breath while they keenly await where this French comet will land.
