Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi opened up Kylian Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid in the summer 2024 stating that the French club is building a team for the future.
Mbappe’s move to Madrid is just a matter of time now as multiple outlets have reported that the official deal will be announced as soon as final details are agreed between the two sides.
Al-Khelaifi indirectly made an admission that Mbappe doesn’t want to be a part of PSG’s future project as he has his eyes on moving to the Spanish capital.
“Mbappe? We said at the beginning of the season that we wanted to build a team for the future. A team that can really play together for another six or eight years,” he said as quoted by Mundo Deportivo.
“We have the youngest team in the quarterfinals. We have the youngest team among the ten best European clubs,” he added.
He then addressed the depratures of players like Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and Sergio Ramos stating that PSG’s eyes are on future and they don’t want to stuck at the past.
“The departure of Messi, Neymar or Ramos is part of the project, great people who have also been very good players. It is an honor that they have played for our team but now we have a new cycle.”
Remember, Mbappe earlier informed Nasser Al Khelaifi that he will leave the club after the end of the season as a free agent.
It must be noted that Madrid have been trying to sign Mbappe since his AS Monaco days in 2017-18 but the player decided to join PSG on a €180 million deal.
The deal was likely to happen last summer after the 25-year-old sent a letter to the French club saying that he would not extend his contract till 2025.
However, as per multiple reports, everything between the two parties has been finalised and only an official announcement is pending after which the transfer will be confirmed.
