Former PSG sporting director Leonardo advised the club to get rid of striker Mbappe
Former sporting director of Paris Saint-Germain Leonardo spoke about the situation with the club forward Kylian Mbappe. His words are quoted by L’Equipe.
Leonardo advised the club to get rid of Mbappe. “The team existed before Mbappe and will exist after him. He spent six years in Paris, and in those six years, five different clubs won the Champions League, none of them had Mbappe. This means that this tournament is quite possible to win without him, ”he said.
Mbappe could leave PSG in the summer transfer window. On June 25, it became known that the French were asking for a total of 300 million euros for the striker, while Real Madrid, the main contender for the player, is ready to pay a maximum of 220 million for him. At the same time, Marca said that the player expects to receive a salary of 240 million euros per season in the Madrid team.
Mbappe has defended the colors of PSG since 2018. His current contract with the team runs until 2024 with a one-season extension option that the player is unwilling to take.
