PSG Legend Indicates ‘Happier’ Kylian Mbappe Might Stay After Denouncing $87 Million Bonuses

At the moment, only Kylian Mbappe knows what’s the next step in his career. There have been a lot of speculations on the player’s future with PSG, considering his contract with the side ends next summer. However, the player has yet to agree to sign a new deal with the Parisian side. However, if a former PSG icon is to be believed, the Frenchman might decide to stay with the club after his recent actions. Mbappe recently denounced his $87 million loyalty bonus with PSG, providing financial relief to the side.

Now, while this move might seem like a way to loosen the load on PSG, the former star believes this could be the way for Mbappe and PSG to find a compromise. The French ace has been linked to multiple clubs around the world if he walks out as a free agent. While Real Madrid was said to be the front-runner for his signatures, the club has washed hands with the player.

Rothen Jerome comments on Kylian Mbappe’s future

Fans around the world are speculating about Kylian Mbappe’s future. While many believe that the player is hoping for a move to Real Madrid, some think that the player could make a u-turn and extend his contract with PSG.

Former PSG icon Jerome Rothen recently joined the conversation as he touched down on the Frenchman’s future. The ex-PSG star during his podcast stated that while Mbappe hasn’t made up his mind, he surely looks happier in comparison to last year.

Jerome stated, “If he wanted to play again, he had no choice. Very few players would have sat on those bonuses. It’s still a significant gesture. It’s a certainty, Kylian Mbappé hasn’t made up his mind about his future. Nothing has been decided. He doesn’t know if he’s going to stay or leave. But there are signs that don’t deceive: he’s much happier than last year.”

Spanish side Real Madrid has publicly denied any sort of negotiations with the Frenchman. The club released an official statement earlier this month to deny involvement with Mbappe.

PSG with their failure to get Kylian Mbappe to agree to a new contract had taken the fight to Real Madrid. The Ligue 1 side had fired shots at Los Blancos claiming the club was going behind PSG’s back to sign Mbappe. However, the Spanish side was not ready to take things lying down.

Real Madrid released an official statement on their website commenting on the recent allegations. The statement read, “Given the information recently issued and published by different media outlets, in which there is speculation about alleged negotiations between the player Kylian Mbappé and our club, Real Madrid CF would like to state that this information is completely false and that no such negotiations have taken place with a player who belongs to PSG.”

With Madrid’s public denial, PSG will surely fancy their chances to renew Mbappe’s contact. However, it will not be an easy task for the side as the Frenchman is reportedly interested in a move away from the club.
