Kylian Mbappé will leave PSG

Kylian Mbappé was the man of a club, who in seven years became one of its legends. The Kylian Mbappé adventure at PSG will end this summer. With this departure, the club should save around 200 million euros per year. But the journalists are unanimous: it is a significant loss. “In terms of marketing certainly, we had superstars at PSG who brought new supporters around the club”, says Romain Beddouk, football journalist at France Bleu. After the departures of Neymar and Messi, that of Mbappé could be harmful for the economy of Ligue 1.

“Ligue 1 suffers from a certain form of lack of attractiveness, due to the excessive domination of one club”

The French championship is currently in negotiations for its television rights. But one economist sees a positive aspect. “Ligue 1 suffers from a certain form of lack of attractiveness, due to the excessive domination of one club. For a league to be attractive, it is still good for several big clubs to compete with each other until the end of the championship”, indicates the expert. The conditions of departure have yet to be fully agreed, according to a source close to the matter. Real Madrid is the big favorite to welcome Kylian Mbappé.
