The strikers contract runs out in 2022

PSG wins 4-1 against Barca: When will Kylian Mbappe sign his contract extension? PSG loses against Monaco: Any news about Mbappe’s contract? PSG wins in Bordeaux: What about Kylian’s contract? Whoever from PSG meets the press, for whatever reason, the topic is always Parisiens star and his status in the club.

And for a reason. We are talking about the „future Pele“ (as both Pele and Wenger said), a 20-year old French striker, set to become a part of the new „Messi – Ronaldo duo“, only with Haaland at the other end. And he knows his time is now, and the next contract must be a big one. As the Athletic and Sportsmail reported earlier, Mbappe want’s his next contract to be around 830.000 dollars a week, a grandiose sum, which can only be paid by a few (and literally a few, like less than five) clubs in the world. And Manchester City is already out of the race.

PSG can pay that price, and all officials are giving the right answers:

One of the most important players of the team. I want him stay a long time in Paris” - Mauricio Poccetino

We are going to arrive at the moment where we have to take a position and a decision” – Leonardo

I think this is a subject that will soon be clarified" France Bleu.

But, it’s still not clarified. It might just be that the money is not such an issue. Of all the Top 5 European Leagues, the French one is considered the weakest, with only PSG being the „big club“, who usually doesn’t have such a big competition for League 1 title. And the Parisiens want to extend Mbappe for four or five more years. They are pushing the player for the quick solution since they don’t want to risk letting Mbappe go for free after 2022 when his contract ends.

Given what is at stake, the club is forced to act this way. With this sort of player, it is almost illegal to find yourself in a situation where they have less than 2 years running on their contract” said a club source to L’ Equipe.

While they are forcing the issue, Mbappe himself said he is „in deep thought“. For the last two months, he was silent, apart from the statement after the Barcelona match.

It would be stupid to decide my future on one match, whether I am good or bad. It is a thought process for the long term, not on one or two matches” said Mbappe at the time.

Ideally, the player would like to think unit in June, but will the Parisiens have time to wait? Or do they want to wait that long? Are they risking a wrong answer from the player if they continue to pressure him with this issue? Journalists are sure gonna ask over and over again. Just wait after the second leg game with Barcelona on Wednesday.
