Paris Saint-Germain announces the signing of Kylian Mbappe's brother
Paris Saint-Germain announced on its official website today, Friday, that it has signed Ethan Mbappe, the younger brother of French star Kylian Mbappe, on a contract that extends for 3 seasons.
Paris Saint-Germain signed Ethan Mbappe, 15, after a probationary period with the club.
The signing of Ethan Mbappe for Paris Saint-Germain comes amid many doubts about the continuity of his older brother Kylian Mbappe (22 years) with the Parisian club, as his current contract expires in 2022.
According to several press reports, Kylian Mbappe, who is currently participating with the French national team in Euro 2020, and is preparing to face Switzerland in the round of 16, is still procrastinating in negotiations to extend his contract with the French club, as he rejected 3 previous offers for renewal, amid anticipation and follow-up with great interest from several clubs. Major in the forefront of Real Madrid and Liverpool.
Reports in France claim that Mbappe has already made up his mind, telling PSG he wants to leave.
French journalist Daniel Riolo told RMC Sport: “I know that Mbappe asked to leave, but the matter is complicated because he first has to find a club that has enough cash to join him. But what I can say is that Mbappe does not want to stay."
He added: “The player does not believe in the club's project. If he does not leave this summer, he will be free next season.”
It is expected that Kylian Mbappe will decide his future after the Euro 2020 championship, amid great interest from Real Madrid in his inclusion. Yesterday, the president of the Spanish club, Florentino Perez, responded to a question about the possibility of signing with Mbappe, saying: “Everyone knows what I can do, and they trust me. I brought Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham, and Cristiano. Mbappe is a great player, but it is disrespectful to talk about players who are not at Real Madrid.”
And the signing of Paris Saint-Germain with Kylian Mbappe’s brother could be a new card that the Parisian club plays to convince the player to extend his contract, and a step that can be considered similar to the one that Milan took in his previous negotiations to persuade Gianluigi Donnarumma to extend his contract with the team, by contracting with his older brother Antonio Donnarumma ( 30 years old), who also holds the position of goalkeeper.
The Donnarumma brothers' contract expired this summer, as Milan have already confirmed that they do not intend to renew the contract of either of them.
