"Mbappe has changed his mind. He intends to sign a new, long-term contract with PSG, instead of just a short-term one (2 years and the option to extend the next year depending on the player's decision as it is now). This will also not depend on whether PSG is eliminated early in the group stage of the 2023-2024 Champions League season or not," said L'Équipe .
Mbappe changes his mind and wants to stay at PSG long term
Mbappe's contract with PSG will expire in June 2024. So far, the 24-year-old French star has not announced his decision on whether to activate the option to extend his contract for the next year (until June 2025).
During the summer transfer window, Mbappe sent a letter to PSG confirming that his contract was only until June 2024. The player also confirmed that he would only decide whether he would stay at the Paris club or leave at the end of the season.
The incident led to Mbappe being disciplined by PSG and banned from the first team during the pre-season training trip to Asia. During this time, Mbappe was linked with signing a contract with Real Madrid from the beginning of 2024, before officially joining in the summer.
The situation only changed when new coach Luis Enrique gradually convinced Mbappe and brought this star back to PSG's main squad. Up to now, Mbappe has truly become the center of PSG's new project, when he scored 18 goals and had 2 assists in a total of 19 matches. PSG has regained the top spot in Ligue 1 (France), 4 points ahead of second-placed Nice after 15 rounds.
In the Champions League, PSG will have a crucial away trip to Signal Iduna Park to face Borussia Dortmund at 3am on December 14. In this match, PSG needs to win against Borussia Dortmund to secure a place in the round of 16 and top the group. If they draw or lose, they could lose their ticket to Newcastle or AC Milan.
"In the worst case scenario, if PSG is eliminated, Mbappe may reconsider his intentions. But there is a high possibility that Mbappe will negotiate to sign a long-term contract with PSG, due to the impression of the project that coach Luis Enrique is building that can help the Paris team succeed in the Champions League in the following seasons. In addition, Mbappe will be accepted by PSG to participate in the 2024 Olympics right after EURO 2024 as this player wishes," shared L'Équipe .
Coach Erik ten Hag will have a lot of work to do to rescue MU
Van de Beek is actively looking for a new club to join after failing to get a position at MU.
MU continues to be paid a lot of money
Meanwhile, according to Sky Sports (UK): "MU Club will have a major reform in early 2024, after billionaire Jim Ratcliffe officially controls all football activities of the team. In addition to the 1.25 billion pounds spent to buy 25% of MU shares, billionaire Jim Ratcliffe also spent about 400 million pounds to renovate the degraded facilities at Old Trafford and Carrington training area.
The most important part is upgrading MU's squad, billionaire Jim Ratcliffe can only provide coach Erik ten Hag with about 100 million pounds for the winter transfer window. But at the same time, he will also sell many redundant or no longer required stars, such as Varane, Casemiro, Martial, Jadon Sancho and Van de Beek, to recover the cost and will use it to buy new players.
