The French superstar isn't going anywhere after all, spurning a long-expected move to Real Madrid to stay put.
PSG’s offer was strong enough for Mbappé to spurn a move to the club he has reportedly longed to play for since he was a boy.

On the club level, he won a Ligue 1 title with Monaco and then four more with PSG, while also capturing seven other domestic trophies. ... This summer my ambition was clear, I wanted to leave and put the club in the best circumstances to bring in my replacement.” The decision is the culmination of a yearlong process that nearly took a drastic turn last summer, when Madrid tried to pry Mbappé from PSG during the transfer window.

But unlike Haaland, whose contract had to be acquired by Manchester City for an eight-figure transfer fee, Mbappé’s expiring contract in Paris made him a free agent, effectively able to choose from among the highest bidders for his prodigious talents. Amid an economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic, few teams but the wealthiest elite have been able to make the type of marquee signings that were once a staple of every soccer off-season. Real Madrid’s worst fears were confirmed on Saturday, when Pérez, in Belgrade to follow Real Madrid’s basketball team in a European final, received a message telling him Mbappé had decided to stay at P.S.G. For Mbappé, the deal comes amid major efforts to build his brand away from the field. But Mbappé had made no secret of his desire to move to Real Madrid from P.S.G., and the Spanish powerhouse went all out to recruit him. P.S.G.’s success in persuading Mbappé to stay is the latest sign that the dominance of global soccer that once rested in the hands of legacy clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United has now shifted to a few deep-pocketed, Gulf-backed teams. P.S.G.’s strategy of bringing the most exciting talents, whatever the cost, has had mixed results. Mbappé picked the one that will keep him in Paris. Its offer included a signing bonus of almost $140 million, a net salary of more than $26 million every season and complete control over his image rights. Mbappé informed Real Madrid earlier Saturday that he would not be coming. But P.S.G., the perennial French champion that is bankrolled by gas-rich Qatar, prevented him from leaving as a free agent by offering even better terms. The saga surrounding Mbappé’s future had gripped France, and was considered a matter of such national importance that last month the French president Emmanuel Macron told a news conference he would do whatever he could to keep Mbappé, considered a national treasure, in the country.

Football has never been more in need of visionary leaders, because the vision for the game is becoming increasingly grim.
It is not really a player pushing his limits, although the challenge is now to finally deliver that Champions League for PSG. That quest has remained a source of comedy for the game in its own right. That is how the modern game really works. Football has never been more in need of visionary leaders, because the vision for the game is becoming increasingly grim. As for what Mbappe wants, it is difficult not to question the decision. That is not something that you can say for the current Uefa hierarchy. It should be stressed that this is not an argument for the old powers to rule again. A mistaken belief has been that La Liga has done this because it won’t see a megastar join, and that it is aggravated on Madrid’s behalf. The Independent has been told by connected sources it is “close to double that”. That is not remedying inequality, or 'rebalancing' the game, as some arguments have had it. It is hard to see how this is happening in a world entirely conditioned by a handful of state projects being able to spend what they want. In order to understand some of the rationale behind Kylian Mbappe’s stunning announcement that he will stay at PSG, you only have to consider where he’s been for the last week.
