The Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported that Paris Saint-Germain will not easily let go of its French star Kylian Mbappé, indicating that it will seek to retain him through certain strategies over the upcoming months. According to the newspaper's sources, the French giant will renew its efforts in October to convince its young striker, who is 22 years old, to sign a two-year contract, knowing that Mbappé will be able to sign with any other club starting from January when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ends, and he can join his new team at the end of the current season.
The newspaper stated that the Parisian management decided to offer a short-term contract after failing to persuade Mbappé to agree to extend his contract for another five seasons. Paris Saint-Germain hopes that the Brazilian star Neymar will help convince Mbappé to stay due to their close friendship over several years, with the hope that they can form a lethal attacking trio alongside the Argentine legend, Lionel Messi, who joined the City of Lights this season from Barcelona.
According to the Spanish newspaper, French President Emmanuel Macron, who supports the capital's club, could exert pressure on Mbappé to remain in Paris, as he had previously reached out to Mbappé personally. This communication may occur again, especially since Macron has stated that Mbappé's continued presence is essential as he represents an inspiring model for the youth.
Among the factors the blue club will depend on to change the perspective of the former Monaco striker is the support from the large fan base, although they booed Mbappé during Paris Saint-Germain's opening match in the French league. However, Mbappé may reconsider his desire to leave if he receives strong backing from the fans.
One option available to Paris Saint-Germain is the ability to provide invaluable support for Mbappé's charitable initiatives, as he remains committed to helping the most disadvantaged children in Paris through his nonprofit organization established in 2019. The Parisian club had previously helped its star Neymar in establishing his own schools in Brazil, with club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi traveling to Brazil with Neymar and his father to visit those schools.
