With his decisions, Kylian Mbappe has caused turmoil in the last 3 summer transfer periods. Goal identifies Mbappe as the most “powerful” player in the world at the present time.

Unlike his other teammates at PSG, striker Kylian Mbappe appeared extremely comfortable during the match against Lorient last weekend.

While the people around were not happy about the stalemate of the home team, the French superstar was still happy to talk and even joke with the new contract Ousmane Dembele. Mbappe doesn’t seem to care about being pushed to the bench by PSG following contract-related controversies.

A day earlier, coach Luis Enrique admitted that he hopes the club can resolve its problems with Mbappe. At the same time, the Spanish strategist affirmed: “The position of the team is very clear: the club is number 1 and I agree 100% with that.”

However, reality shows that with wise moves, Mbappe is even dominating PSG. “What has happened in the last few days has proved that Kylian Mbappe is even bigger than PSG. Right now, he is probably the most powerful player in the world at the moment,” Goal said.

Welcome back

On August 14, Mbappe’s situation at PSG completely changed. From where he had to practice with a group of liquidated players, the 24-year-old striker was returned to the first team. President Nasser Al-Khelaifi was described as “very happy” to announce the decision to the entire team.

Previously, Mr. Al-Khelaifi himself also expressed a tough attitude towards Mbappe, affirming that he would let this player leave if he did not extend his contract. Last week, PSG even removed a picture of Mbappe outside the stadium, stopping the sale of Mbappe’s shirts. Next, the 2018 World Cup winner was not allowed to play in the opening match of the season.

British media even revealed that PSG agreed to let Mbappe move to Al Hilal. However, this deal eventually collapsed because Mbappe refused to negotiate with Saudi Arabia’s representatives. Regulations allow Mbappe to do that.

In the battle with PSG, Mbappe understands that he holds an advantage. Because PSG cannot push Mbappe away without the French player’s approval. Mbappe understands this and takes advantage of it perfectly. “Mbappe is a young player, extremely talented and understands his value, especially with PSG,” Goal commented.

“The foundation of the club’s plan”

In a statement last year, although the club at that time still had the services of Messi and Neymar, President Al Khelaifi still affirmed that Mbappe was “the foundation of the club’s plan”. PSG is showing signs of dependence on Mbappe, not in the professional aspect.

If Mbappe does not score, PSG can look to buy a replacement striker. As former PSG sporting director Leonardo pointed out, Liverpool, Bayern and Chelsea have won the Champions League since Mbappe joined PSG. That means a club does not need Mbappe to take the throne in the most prestigious club-level arena in Europe.

The bosses at PSG believe that Mbappe is the player who creates attraction for the team, becoming a bridge that brings the club closer to fans around the world. With Messi and Neymar leaving, Mbappe became the symbol of the team.

“PSG can build a better quality team, more cohesive, richer in depth with the money earned from selling Mbappe. But without the World Cup champion, they are no longer an attractive destination for football players.” brand, or even lose its appeal on social networks,” expert Mark Doyle assessed.

Real also lost direction because of Mbappe

Mbappe became a target of Real’s pursuit throughout the years. Last summer, the Spanish giant came very close to recruiting Mbappe until the French star changed his mind to stay at Mbappe. At this time, Real is still closely following Mbappe’s move, ready to wait until next summer to recruit on a free transfer.

Once again, Mbappe has the right to decide whether or not to join Real. And if so, how will the 24-year-old come? It is not excluded that Mbappe will extend his contract with PSG, adding a contract release clause at a reasonable price so that clubs can meet the summer of 2024.

At the moment, Mbappe not only holds the right to decide on his future but can also affect the transfer market.

Unable to find a common voice with the big boys in Europe, Ronaldo had to move to Saudi Arabia to play football. Lionel Messi also just granted Inter Miami last summer because Barca could not complete the acquisition.

Compared to the two stars above, Mbappe has a lot more options in hand. The move Mbappe makes will lead to other big transfers. If Mbappe stays at PSG, Real will have to find a replacement striker in the context of Benzema’s departure. In the opposite direction, PSG is also forced to spend money to find an alternative if there is no Mbappe.

Will PSG have to meet Mbappe’s demands again?

At this point, Mbappe will wait to see if PSG offers any benefits for this player to renew his contract. Last summer, PSG had to concede to Mbappe to stay at the last minute. This year, the club brought in Mbappe’s close friend Dembele and pushed away Neymar – the star who is said to have a bad relationship with the French star.

PSG also easily ignored Mbappe after he caused turmoil within the club with his moves in the past few months. Now Mbappe has been welcomed back to training. Most likely, once more, PSG “gives to” Mbappe.

“No player possesses more power than Mbappe,” Goal concluded.
