Kylian Mbappé Out, Cristiano Ronaldo In

Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s PSG dream team knows no bounds!

After several world-class signings over the summer, PSG went on to secure the signing of Lionel Messi when everyone thought he had already renewed (or signed) with Barcelona. It now turns out that the PSG chief has not only decided not to sell Kylian Mbappé to Madrid this summer but that he has already prepared his replacement for next season. The French player will finish his contract in the French capital and will be free to finally sign for Real Madrid, given that he has still not renewed his current deal with PSG.

Mbappé to Real Madrid

What we understand is that PSG has already agreed that Mbappé will be heading to the Bernabéu at the end of next season, for free. They know that the youngster has very clear ideas about his stalled renewal and nothing will make him change his mind. But in return, PSG will sign Cristiano Ronaldo, who will also be free to leave Juventus on 30 June 2022. PSG will exchange one player for another and at zero cost in terms of transfer fees. They won’t get a single euro from Madrid, but they already have a substitute for the same cost. Bringing together Messi, Neymar and Cristiano, the 2015 Ballon d’Or podium, would be an impressive feat. Messi won that edition with 41.3% of the votes cast, Cristiano was second with 27.7% and Neymar finished third with 7.8%. Al-Khelaifi’s ambition has always been to bring the three players together in Paris and now that Messi’s deal has been finalised, he is getting closer and closer.
