In an amazing about-face, Kylian Mbappe has decided to sign a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain and has also instructed the French powerhouse to sign one Manchester City star.
One of the greatest transfer stories of the summer has been the one involving Mbappe. The attacker declared in June that he would not exercise the option to extend his PSG contract from 2024 to 2025.

PSG is quite concerned that Mbappe may try to outlast his deal at Parc des Princes in order to join Real Madrid for free in the summer of 2024.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of PSG, has openly claimed that it is “impossible” for the probably best player in the world to depart without paying a transfer fee.
Not just Madrid but several top teams have expressed interest in the France captain. According to several reports, Liverpool is expected to make an aggressive move for him, either through a loan or a permanent deal.
Should Mbappe transfer to the Premier League, Arsenal has also been mentioned as his favorite club. Mbappe appreciates the progress Arsenal has made under Mikel Arteta in recent seasons and is up for the task of helping the Gunners win the Premier League for the first time since 2003–04.
In a shocking turn of events, the goal machine is suddenly prepared to remain at PSG. After leaving Mbappe out of the first team’s summer training sessions and the roster for the season opener against FC Lorient, it appears like PSG has achieved its goal.
Mbappe has resumed training with the first team, according to a statement from PSG. The primary cause of this, according to French source Foot Mercato, is that Al-Khelaifi is now again in contract negotiations with Mbappe.
The 24-year-old is pleased to sign a new contract that will endure for another two or three years. But if Madrid offers enough money, he needs assurances that he can leave within that time.
To make the Ligue 1 giants as successful as possible, Mbappe reportedly wants PSG to sign Bernardo Silva from City before he moves to the Spanish capital, according to Foot Mercato.
Silva has been pursued by PSG on numerous occasions to leave Pep Guardiola’s team. As of now, City, who are attempting to manufacture a new deal for the playmaker, has dismissed their advances.
However, Mbappe will pressure the PSG management to send Silva back to France. He enjoys working with the Portuguese international because of their time spent together in Monaco, where they won the French championship in 2016–17.
Mbappe won’t need much time to persuade PSG sporting adviser Luis Campos to make a move for Silva. Due to his significant part in Silva’s initial transfer to Monaco, Campos is well known to be a huge fan of the player.
