Cristiano Ronaldo must become Kylian Mbappe’s successor at Paris Saint-Germain in a year’s time ASH to report. It is slowly but surely assumed in Paris that the 22-year-old attacker will not renew his contract until mid-2022 and then use his transfer-free status for a switch to Real Madrid. Ronaldo can then also be picked up for free, because his contract with Juventus expires in one year.

PSG have no intention of selling Mbappe this summer, despite a transfer-free departure looming in a year. “I think everyone knows what Kylian’s future looks like. He is very competitive and a real winner. Kylian has said publicly that he wants a competitive team and we can’t do better than this.

Agent Jorge Mendes is aware of this and according to ASH The 36-year-old Portuguese forward is slated to play at PSG for another two years before concluding his career in Qatar or the United States.
