PSG playing the card to deny Kylian Mbappé his dream move

By -
Things are surely not going we'll between Kylian Mbappé and his club, PSG Paris Saint-German at the moment after the player announces to them in a letter, his decision not to activate the one year option in his contract.


PSG, who resigned the player following the end of his contract last summer knew this was coming but had hoped things would be different, and that they would be in a position to tie down the 24year old, for at least 2025.

Mbappé signed a two year contract with an option of one more but after another underwhelming campaign, which saw them get eliminated from the Champions League round of 16 by Bayern Munich, the Frenchman seems to have had enough.

His dream, which was to play for Real Madrid was denied last summer, but the two parties have since settled their differences after Mbappé apologized to Madrid and Perez following the failed move.

PSG has however reportedly decided to sell Mbappé this summer as failure to do so will see him leave for free next summer.

Reports also suggests that the club is ready negotiate a deal with anyone but Real Madrid, whose president, Florentino Perez had announced earlier that it will sign Mbappé but not this summer.

Desperate now, PSG have to sell Mbappé this summer because they will not be able to get him to sign an extension once it is August, and the player will be open to signing pre-agreement contract with another club in January.

PSG spent €180 million on signing Mbappé from AS Monaco in 2017 and resigning him last summer cost mouthwatering amounts - losing him for free will be bad business as the club had already lost some big names for nothing.

The decision to sell Mbappe this summer does not play well to the plans of Real Madrid, who are also currently short of options in attack and in the end, they might decide PSG's resolve by tabling a bid for the player.

Selling a franchise player like Mbappé comes with difficulty because only a selected few can accommodate him in their squad, hence, the Parisiens might have to go back on their decision not to negotiate with Los Blancos.

Another Newcastle defeat means time to go BIG on Eddie Howe might be about right

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United falled to a sixth defeat in seven games as Nottingham Forest sealed a 3-1 comeback win in the Saint James' Park, adding to their Champions League and Carabao Cup elimination in December while they continue to drop down the Premier League table. Credits to the Englishman, however, he is not in an elite level. A project like Newcastle United's is in a stage where you say thank you very much to Eddie Howe, a bid him farewell. It was a miracle, what the former AFC Bournemouth boss has done in his just more than two years at the helm of affairs in Tyneside and after the club failed to make the statement upon their UEFA Champions League qualification, the time couldn't be more right. Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle United when the club was deep down the bottom of the Premier League standing and helped them become the first-ever to avoid relegation having not won a single game up until Gameweek 14 in the competition's history.

Rasmus Hojlund; a pragmatic solution to Manchester United's needs despite likely consequences

Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as a real target for Manchester United as they look to secure a main goalscorer, who will lead the lines for the club on a long-term. Erik Ten Hag has opted for a different approach compared to previous managers of United in recent times, whom had all gone for players of different status. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Odion Ighalo, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wout Weghorst are strikers the club has signed post Sir Alex Ferguson era, all of whom arrived at the club in their 30s. With Hojlund, United are looking to sign someone who just turned 20, though still has a lot more to learn to master the trade but at the same time, he has got the potentials to become one of the best around. The striker position has been a major issue for the club as many of those who had been signed has not lived up to expectations, while those who did ended up leaving due to their already ending careers. Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe Zlatan Ibrahimovic are the only two names who have m

Victor Osimhen crowned Africa's Best For the first time since Kanu Nwankwo 24 years ago, a Nigerian player has won the most prestigious individual accolade in African football with striker Victor Osimhen beating Mohamed Salah and Achraf Hakimi to the CAF Men's Player of the Year award. Osimhen, who enjoyed a sensational year with Napoli, delivering their first Scudetto in 33years and helping them to a first-ever quarter final place in the UEFA Champions League was always front-runner for the award, moreso after Riyad Mahrez failed to make the final three. Aside his conquests with Napoli, the 24-year-old striker was also unplayable in the AFCON qualifiers, scoring ten goals in six games and finishing as top scorer of the qualificatio
