Kylian Mbappé did not deliver in the Euro, which ended with his deciding miss in the penalty shoot-out against Switzerland. The Frenchman commented on Instagram. “It is very tough to turn the page, I feel immense sadness after this elimination. We could not reach our objective. I wanted to help the team, but I failed. It will be tough to sleep, but, unfortunately, these are the ups and downs of this sport that I love so much.”
“I know you fans are disappointed, but I wanted to thank you for your support and for always believing in us. The most important thing will be to bounce back and be strong in the next competitions. Congratulations and good luck to Switzerland.” Mbappé finished the tournament with zero goals despite some flashy plays.
He will now be the main piece in the possible domino of high-profile strikers. His contract is up in a year, and the negotiations to extend it have not gone well. He has asked for €50M annually to PSG, and Real Madrid covet him, Alfredo Pedullà reported.
However, the French club intends to keep him this summer, no matter what. They have generally maintained this kind of promises considering what happened when Neymar seemed close to Barcelona in the past. The star-studded carousel could involve Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland, who might transfer to either PSG or Real Madrid depending on what happens with Mbappé. Things are about to get started now that the two aces are done with the Euro.
