Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/a> is done with Paris St. Germain<\/a> (PSG), according to reports. The relationship between the hottest 23-year-old in world football and the reigning Ligue 1 champion has completely broken down, sources have confirmed to multiple media outlets.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s just 16 games after Mbapp\u00e9 signed a three-year contract extension with PSG that made him the world\u2019s highest paid footballer, on a reported salary of US$738,000 a week.<\/p>\n

But sources say the wunderkind winger feels \u201cbetrayed” following a series of “unfeasible” promises made as part of the deal. So desperate was PSG to keep him on the club last summer, executives offered him unprecedented status within the club\u2019s hierarchy, reports The Guardian.<\/em> This included decision making powers on tactics and recruitment.<\/p>\n

\n

Mbapp\u00e9 himself revealed that French President Emmanuel Macron intervened to ask him to stay, rather than move to suitor Real Madrid.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On the recruitment front, Mbapp\u00e9 wanted a \u201cpivot\u201d number 9 at PSG who could hold up play, like Olivier Giroud, with whom he plays in the French National team. This would give him more attacking freedom. But PSG failed to deliver.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, French media group Mediapart<\/em> reported the extraordinary claim that PSG hired an external company to launch a coordinated online abuse campaign targeting Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>\n

This allegedly involved using fake social media accounts in an effort to convince the player to stay at the club. PSG has strenuously denied these allegations.<\/p>\n

Where Now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mbapp\u00e9 appears to be hellbent on an exit. But where will he go?<\/p>\n

The player is valued at least at \u20ac180 million. That would be a world record transfer fee and a sum only a few teams can afford. And that\u2019s before you get to his crazy wages.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid can afford it, apparently, despite the current lack of money in La Liga in comparison with the EPL. The Spanish giant offered PSG precisely that sum over the summer and was reportedly willing to go to \u20ac200 million to get its man. But Real was snubbed, and that bridge may now be burned.<\/p>\n

Who Else?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Owned by the ruling family of Abu Dhabi, Manchester City could splash the cash. But there is a question of whether Mbappe\u2019s apparently demanding personality would gel with manager Pep Guardiola, who exerts rigorous tactical control of his team.<\/p>\n

Mbapp\u00e9 has also been linked with Liverpool, and manager Jurgen Klopp has long-admired the player. But who hasn\u2019t? And it\u2019s questionable whether Liverpool has the funds to spare.<\/p>\n

Chelsea, recently acquired by a US hedge fund, might be able to afford him, and its new chairman and co-owner Todd Boehly likes to make statement signings.<\/p>\n

But the bookies believe Real Madrid, despite its wounded pride, remains the favorite to sign the Frenchman in the next transfer window at 5\/2, with Liverpool next at 4\/1. Chelsea is 14\/1 and Manchester City 20\/1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
