Mbappe chose to remain in PSG for yet another trio of seasons, explaining that it wasn’t yet over. The forward let the footballing universe in on the fact that he wanted to see France and it’s league at the top. His decision to remain a nationalist didn’t go down too well at the Spanish capital which was full of thousands of people anticipating his monumental advent at the club. The pack includes their star striker, Karim Benzema who also felt hurt by Mbappe’s infamous response to Madrid.
Mbappe who had 71.6 followers on Instagram dwindled to 70.9 followers succeeding his putting pen to Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s paper.

Are Paris Saint German up to something? How did they manage to get in the way of a record-breaking, season-defining transfer.
Well, when it comes to transfers, PSG have always had cards up their sleeves and rabbits to pull out of their hats. This has been contributory in landing Titans in the past like Neymar for $222m in 2017, and Lionel Messi last summer after Barcelona capitulated owing to financial crisis.

This means the youngster can get back at people he doesn’t fancy or have good camaraderie with. This kind of deal makes the prolific forward somewhat of a backroom member of the club. Just imagine having to choose your coach and those you work with on the pitch. Mbappe’s critical choice making is the apparent backwash of Les Blues’ desperate act to keep one of their main men, the future of the French club.
