Mbappe set for PSG contract similar to Neymar’s

Paris Saint-Germain are determined to keep Kylian Mbappe from the clutches of Real Madrid or any other potential suitor, and to that end, they’re preparing an offer of a new contract, similar to the one currently binding Neymar to the French capital, according to French football journalist Jonathan Johnson.

As Real’s pursuit became hotter through the 2019/20 season, the 22-year-old’s plan was to wait and see whether any progress would be made in the aspirations of PSG to win the Champions League before making a decision on his future, Johnson told Transfer Talk. The French champions have reached the quarterfinals of UEFA’s elite club competition, but it remains to be seen whether the rest of it will be played out or not, which complicates the matter somewhat for Mbappe.

PSG are, of course, aware that his contract now enters its final two years and are keen to tie him down long-term as soon as possible. Mbappe’s representatives appreciate their efforts, but they still insist on waiting until Mbappe is quite certain he wants to remain at the Parc des Princes.
