According to ‘L’Equipe’, Kylian Mbappe’s return to Paris Saint-Germain training is not linked to a contract renewal until 2025. The man from Bondy is sticking to his guns, so Madrid could get him for free next summer.

It seems that the Kylian Mbappe transfer saga will never end. Although there has been a reconciliation between the Bondy native and PSG, the striker is sticking to his guns and has no plans to renew his contract until 2025, which is what the Parisian side were looking for from the outset.

That is what the newspaper ‘L’Equipe’ has reported, so we can say that we are back to square one. The only difference between before and now is that both parties have maintained a very positive approach and that gives the French side hope to avoid at all costs his departure next summer for free.

Mbappe has been training with PSG’s ‘undesirables’ following the ultimatum issued by the club and his ban was lifted on Sunday, as the ‘7’ returned to training with the first team.

According to the French media, the player from Bondy made a kind of sacrifice in economic terms in order to return as soon as possible and play football. What he points out is that “he has forgiven something” so that the Parisian team will not lose a lot of money when he leaves the French club as a free agent in 2024.

Therefore, his return is not linked to his renewal or his promise not to leave for free. In fact, both parties have not spoken about this issue at any time.

For his part, Mario Cortegana, in ‘The Athletic’, assured that PSG are happy for Kylian to continue without having to extend his contract, but renouncing the renewal bonus – 60 million – and part of the loyalty bonus – 40 million – that he has yet to receive.
