Even though he couldn’t successfully defend the title with the French squad upon his return from the 2022 World Cup, he had a fantastic tournament with Mbappe. The 24-year-old striker had 8 goals overall, including a hat-trick in the championship game, and he beat out Messi to claim the top scorer award.

Mbappe’s recent stellar performance in Qatar not only increased his market value to 180 million euros, but it also piqued Real Madrid’s interest in signing him. Marca claims that even though Los Blancos are currently concentrating on current players like Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, they have never ruled out the possibility of bringing Mbappe back into the fold.

The excellent performance at the 2022 World Cup is said to have helped Mbappe regain his affection from Real Madrid

Although Mbappe’s current PSG contract is good until 2025, there is rumored to be a provision that would allow him to depart the club one year sooner. The French team must therefore be a little concerned. Mbappe does not wish to remain in Paris, despite the fact that he does have a few specific demands.

The French striker has reportedly set three requirements in order to agree to remain at PSG and refrain from speaking with Real Madrid or any other team from now until next summer.

In particular, the Spanish tabloid said that Mbappe’s only demand was for Neymar to leave. A claim is not entirely unexpected given that French media earlier in the season stated that the two’s relationship had soured.

Mbappe wants Neymar to leave because of broken relationship

Second, Mbappe wants the club to recruit a top-class striker. The chosen one is Harry Kane, who can both score goals and create assists, like Giroud in the France national team.

One of the conditions that Mbappe offers to PSG is to recruit former Real Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane

Mbappe’s third and final request to PSG owners is to appoint coach Zinedine Zidane. It is known that the number 10 of France has a very good relationship with Zizou and also gets along very well with current coach Christophe Galtier. In fɑct, Zidane has always been the dream captain of both Mbappe and PSG.

However, at the present time, it is difficult for PSG to meet all the conditions set by Mbappe. But everything can still happen next summer, especially with the bottomless pockets of Qatari owners, who have surpassed Real Madrid in the Mbappe extension in the summer of 2022.

Mbappe makes Ligue 1 tremble

Ligue 1 will be on guard due to recent developments regarding Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain.

Just one day after the French team’s arrival from Qatar, Kylian Mbappe started back up at his club. The 24-year-old superstar had the option to take a break until the start of 2023, but he chose to return to PSG for training instead.

Therefore, while the French champions are deciding whether to allow the striker to play in the encounter against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 on Wednesday, Mbappe might easily return to play for PSG, per L’ Equipe. The possibility exists that the 1998-born player will face Strasbourg. Mbappe is a striker and a hungry player; he does not want to be held up unless he is experiencing a physical issue.

Mbappe can immediately play for PSG.

Contrary to Mbappe, Lionel Messi is still enjoying a break after winning the World Cup. The Argentine star just spent Christmas with his family. The PSG side will focus on contacting Messi to grasp the situation and the return date of El Pulga.

Once Messi returns to the ‘Park of the Princes’, PSG can proceed with new contract negotiations.
