According to ESPN reports, Paris Saint-Germain Frenchmen are increasingly convinced that they can convince Kylian Mbappe not to leave the team. The media suggest that the striker's family is in talks with the club for the possibility of a short-term renewal, and so far, the situation looks positive.
However, Real Madrid are still confident they can sign the Frenchman this summer. La Liga executives were close to recruiting him last season, but ESPN sources indicated that PSG rejected the € 200m bid from Madrid in August. Meanwhile in December, Mbappe ruled out leaving PSG in the middle of the season, but according to sources, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is confident he can secure a deal for the striker, at zero cost in the summer.
PSG, on the other hand, are in talks with Paul Pogba and Franck Kessie, and the signing of these players would help convince Mbappe that the club is moving in the right direction. While another factor that helps Parisians is that in the locker room with the names of stars like Neymar, Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos, Mbappe seems to have found the role he has always loved in the club. The striker has become an undisputed leader in the squad, given that Leo Messi failed to have the intended impact, before making his debut with PSG. Mbappe has been one of the most prominent players on his team this season, despite the lack of a collective structure in the squad.
The news that Zinedine Zidane could be the next coach to land in Parc des Princes, could be another factor for Mbappe to reconsider his plans for the future.
