There will always be collateral victims in a conflict of interest, but in this case we are talking about favored teams. One of them is the team from San Sebastian, which qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The winter market closed a few days ago, but there are still talks about the Kylian Mbappé case and his extension at PSG. The strange thing is that Real Sociedad is paying attention. And not because the group is led by Imanol Alguacil has set his sights on signing him, although it wouldn’t be a bad idea for the Oriotarra coach. In this case it concerns interests related to the Champions League.
Most people know that Real Sociedad was one of the teams that qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League. Ticket he received as leader of Group D. This led to him facing Group F runners-up PSG. But the question remains open: What interests does Txuri Urdin’s team have in the Mbappé case?
PSG will not have Mbappé for the rest of the season and Real Sociedad is happy
With the French striker delaying his contract extension with the Parisian team but also planning to sign with Real Madrid, major shareholder Nasser Al-Khelaïfi would have taken action on the matter. The Arab sheikh is so offended that he will apparently order Luis Enrique not to deal with the French striker until the end of the season.
This means that Mbappé will not be present in the international engagement against the Basque team, as he has already communicated his decision not to renew at this point. A plus that Alguacil and his players will take advantage of, since the French goalscorer is known to guarantee an effectiveness of at least 90%. However, the Qatari businessman may change his mind.
If Real Sociedad benefits from Mbappé’s non-renewal, his brother will be affected
If the 2018 world champion’s contract extension remains lame, that of his younger brother also applies. We’re talking about Ethan Mbappé, who also plays for PSG, but his record is in the U19 category. However, on January 7th he made his debut with the first team, albeit in the French Cup.
The midfielder’s contract is signed until June 30, 2024 and although the 17-year-old footballer’s will was there, the sports management stopped operations. If the eldest Mbappé leaves the Parc des Princes, his brother will apparently do so too. A move that could also interest Real Madrid, who could sign twice.
