Last night, the Kylian Mbappe saga came to an end as the striker announced his contract extension with Paris Saint Germain before their final game of the season. Mbappe was very happy with the offer from PSG and all of his demands were met by the PSG board. He also considered the plans for the next season as satisfactory. On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe was very close to signing a deal with Real Madrid and joining the La Liga side. He was considered to become the greatest signing ever by the Los Blancos. They had even offered him a record deal to play at the Bernabeu. However, the French striker rejected Real Madrid and signed a contract extension with PSG. This decision brought jubilation to Real Madrid’s arch rivals, Barcelona. The Barcelona dressing room was surprised and at the same time very happy that Kylian Mbappe rejected Real Madrid and extended with Paris Saint-Germain. One of the Barca players reportedly wrote in the WhatsApp group chat: “This one from Mbappe is almost like a title.” The player were waiting for a final decision and had even contacted Neymar and Leo Messi to know more. However, they weren’t aware of Kylian Mbappe’s final decision.

Manchester City won the English Premier League title for the fourth time in the last five years after another sensational comeback win on the final day of the season. Just a few days back, City celebrated their 10th anniversary of that iconic Sergio Aguero goal which made them champions in 2012. No one could have imagined that something similar is about to happen again in a few days’ time. Manchester City needed a win against Aston Villa to seal the title something they did in the most dramatic way. Liverpool fans were hoping for Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa to do them the favor this time, a point for them would have been enough. They were almost there until 15 minutes to play with goals from Matty Cash and former-Red Phillipe Coutinho. Until the 75th-minute Pep Guardiola’s side was below their standards in their passing, shooting and in defence. 3 goals in space of 6 minutes for City changed the scenario completely as Etihad started rocking to celebrate. The Moment that Changed The Entire Title Race For Manchester City On The Final Day Of The SeasonHere we will talk about a player who is consistently linked for a move away from Etihad. He did the most remarkable job for his team to win the title coming off the bench, i.e. Ilkay Gundogan. The German midfielder came off the bench in the second half before Guardiola shuffled his backline a bit bringing on Oleksandr Zinchenko at left-back, switching Cancelo to right-back and Stones to centre-half which should have been the obvious starting line-up. However, Guardiola’s substitutes were absolutely spot on. In the 76th minute, Manchester City fans found some hope when Gundogan scored with a powerful downward header. Then little more than two minutes later, Zinchenko – another City sub who’d had a serious impact – darted down the left and cut back for Rodri who side-footed with power from the edge of the area into the corner of the net to equalise. A draw was not going to be enough and City knew it very well. Gundogan was at the right place at the right time again as he just toe-poked the De Bruyne pass to seal it. Guardiola recently slammed all the transfer speculations regarding his German midfielder saying he will be staying. Pep now has four EPL trophies as the Manchester City boss, one more than his former rival Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger, who both have 3 with Chelsea and Arsenal respectively. The post Watch: The Decision That Made Manchester City Premier League Champions first appeared on Football Lovers and is written by Nitish Bhan. from https://thefootballlovers.com/manchester-city-pl-champions/ According to Spanish journalist Sergio Santos, Kylian Mbappe reportedly asked Paris Saint-Germain to sign international teammate and Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele. This was one of the things promised by Paris Saint-Germain to Kylian Mbappe in order to get him to sign a new contract with the club. It is also being reported that Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Jr. had a fallout, after which the French striker asked the club ‘let Neymar go’. Now, the Ligue 1 champions are working to find a way to sell the Brazilian. Kylian Mbappe is keen for PSG to sign Ousmane Dembele from Catalan giants Barcelona, with the 25-year-old’s contract expiring at the end of the season. The striker “wants new faces” at the club and “is convinced” the Barcelona forward would add a lot to his team next season. It seems as though Dembele will not sign an extension at the Nou Camp, after the offer from the Catalans did not meet his expectations. As per Loic Tanzi, PSG’s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is personally handling the case of Ousmane Dembele. It is most likely that PSG will succeed in signing the French winger. There is no doubt, that PSG have the financial capabilities to match the demands that Dembele has made to Barcelona. Furthermore, the player will get to play in a dream team, full of generational talents, and will be payed a hefty salary. RMC Sport are reporting that PSG and Nasser Al-Khelaifi “are negotiating” to bring in Dembele on a free transfer from Barcelona. On the other hand, as the situation regarding the financial status of Barcelona gets worse, it is highly unlikely they can offer Ousmane Dembele a big contract that he is looking for. The Catalans need to lower their wage bill in order to avoid a penalty for Financial Fair Play from La Liga. Xavi spoke briefly about Dembele at his presser on Saturday and said negotiations are “ongoing” but admitted tomorrow’s match could be his last in a Barcelona shirt. The post PSG Have PROMISED Kylian Mbappe That They WILL SIGN Ousmane Dembele From Barcelona first appeared on Football Lovers and is written by David Habib. from https://thefootballlovers.com/psg-kylian-mbappe-ousmane-dembele/ The La Liga chief Javier Tebas has shut down all the rumors of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski signing for FC Barcelona. In a recent statement to the Spanish publication Marca, Javier Tebas claimed that the financial situation of the La Liga giants will not allow them to go through with the signing of Robert Lewandowski. FC Barcelona are in talks with Bayern Munich over the signing of Lewandowski. Xavi and the club staff consider the striker to be a big game player and a leader that would help build the squad together. Lewandowski has already told Bayern Munich that he won’t be signing a new extension in hope of joining the La Liga side. According to the statement from La Liga president Javier Tebas: “As of today, I don’t see Lewandowski at Barcelona.” “Other things have to happen that I don’t know if they are going to happen. The BLM [Barca Licensing and Merchandising] thing, Barca Studios sale, etc. In their budget, they had a sale of Barca Studios that I don’t see happening.” “Lewandowski has one year left at Bayern. Between what Lewandowski wants to earn and what Bayern wants to take as a fee… It gives me the feeling, as of today, that we won’t see him at Barcelona.” Tebas was also asked whether the potential sale of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, could help them in their quest to sign Robert Lewandowski. “It could be enough depending on how much you sell for and depending on what Lewandowski costs. It could be €100 Million plus that is saved.” “De Jong could give them that possibility, but I don’t know if they are even planning to sell. To date they have not sold him.” According to multiple reports, there has been a personal agreement between Barcelona and Robert Lewandowski for a three year contract. The striker has also been in talks with Xavi over the potential move to the Nou Camp.

Kylian Mbappe officially signed a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday. Furthermore, Kylian Mbappe allegedly informed Real Madrid president Florentino Perez over Whatsapp that he would not be joining the Spanish giants. The Frenchman has been negotiating with Real Madrid about a possible free move from PSG at the end of the season. He has now signed a new three-year contract with PSG, committing his long-term career to the French champions. Both sides offered large sums of money to Kylian Mbappe. It had always been his goal to play for Los Blancos. However, it appears that he has opted to stay with PSG and not continue his career at the last minute. Having said that, the supporters anticipated this to be a straightforward conclusion. However, the 23-year-old attacker chose the alternative and will now extend his contract with the French club. Mbappe has signed a new contract with PSG, and Florentino Perez has been informed of the decision. According to Spanish media, Kylian Mbappe informed Perez over Whatsapp that he would not be joining Real Madrid rather than contacting him. According to the Spanish TV show El Chiringuito, Mbappe’s messages to Florentino Perez have been leaked. The message said, “I’m communicating to you that I have decided to stay at PSG. “I want to thank you for the opportunity you gave me to play at Madrid, the club I was a fan of since I was a kid.” “I hope you will be understanding of my decision. “Good luck in the Champions League final.” According to the Independent’s top football writer Miguel Delaney, Florentino Perez is enraged by Mbappe’s decision to stay at PSG. “In a surprise to no one, am told Perez is ‘apoplectic’,” tweeted Miguel Delaney. “There is some surprise in Madrid they allowed it to get to this situation without Mbappe signing anything. “If it was a normal situation, especially after Super League, Perez should be resigning…” Mbappe is poised to earn a remarkable £4 million per month over the life of his deal, plus a massive £100 million signing-on bonus. Paris Saint-Germain has also shockingly offered him control of the club’s sporting operations. That means the Frenchman will have ultimate control of the club and will be able to select managers and players. Kylian Mbappe is already making moves after signing a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain. According to noted transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, PSG head coach Mauricio Pochettino and sporting director Leonardo are both poised to quit the club. “Kylian Mbappe will sign a three-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain, the contract will be valid until 2025. It was approved in the morning,” reported Fabrizio Romano. “Pochettino & Leonardo are expected to leave, as @Romain_Molina says – PSG are already exploring options to replace them.” The post Kylian Mbappe’s Whatsapp Message To Florentino Perez Rejecting Real Madrid Revealed first appeared on Football Lovers and is written by Salman Fareed. from https://thefootballlovers.com/kylian-mbappes-whatsapp-message-to-florentino-perez-rejecting-real-madrid-revealed/ Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has won the Premier League Player Of The Season award. He has beaten Liverpool’s Mo Salah and Tottenham’s Son Heung-min to win the award. The reason for him to be crowned with this award yet again was, as he has inspired Manchester City to possibly yet another league title. The Belgian playmaker has a total of 15 goals to his name in 29 appearances this season. He has also provided a further seven assists for his teammates, which has helped his team win some crucial matches. This made him a really strong contender and he has eventually won the award, as confirmed now. De Bruyne had last won this award in the 2019/20 campaign, with Ruben Dias winning it last season. It means that Pep Guardiola’s players have now won this award three consecutive years in a row. Can The Premier League Player Of The Season Inspire Manchester City To The League Title?The Premier League title race between Manchester City and Liverpool will go down to the wire. One team will win it and the other will lose it on the final day of the season. With that being said, the fans will be hoping that the Premier League Player Of The Season can help the Cityzens win the title. He has been an inspiration to them over the past few years and will want to continue to do so. It is always prestigious to win an individual award like the Player Of The Season. However, nothing can match the joy that a player gets when he or she wins the league. With that being said, the entire Manchester City squad along with manager Pep Guardiola will be focused on winning that last game of the season against Aston Villa and lifting yet another league title. Liverpool has not given up on the league, despite winning the two domestic cups and being in the final of the Champions League. Let’s see whether the Premier League’s Player Of The Season can inspire his side to win yet another league title at the weekend or does Mo Salah and co. make it count when it really matters.

It has been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano that the player has opted to stay with the Ligue 1 champs. The French World Cup winner had offers from La Liga champs Real Madrid, though it seems he has decided otherwise and will stay where he already is. Kylian Mbappe was being offered big money from both parties. It was his dream to play for Los Blancos. However, it seems at the last minute that he has decided to stay with PSG and not move on with his career. Fabrizio Romano Confirmed That Kylian Mbappe Will Be Staying At PSG And This Rather Shocked The FansThe fans thought that Kylian Mbappe would surely be heading to the Bernabeu. This is due to the fact that Carlo Ancelotti has already won the La Liga title and is in the final of the Champions League. If they win the UCL, it will be something that will be an icing on the cake. A glory that Mbappe hasn’t tasted yet and PSG has struggled to achieve. With that being said, the fans expected this to be a simple decision. However, the 23-year-old forward opted for the alternative and is now going to extend his contract with the French outfit. He is expected to sign a new deal and the decision has been conveyed to Florentino Perez. Keeping that in mind, the decision stunned the footballing world and the PSG fans must be ecstatic. On the other hand, Real Madrid fans and the management must be wondering what went wrong in their pursuit of Mbappe. Now, they will have to figure out which player they can target next. The team needs reinforcements to replace some of the ageing players in the squad. Kylian Mbappe would have been a long-term option for a forward’s role, as he would possibly take charge from Karim Benzema, who is in the twilight of his career at present. However, this turn of events is something that no one must have seen and the Real Madrid recruitment needs to react now and fast.

More on Kylian Mbappe transfer news as the contract saga continues. Paris Saint-Germain will do whatever it takes to keep the Frenchman at the club. Paris Saint-Germain is said to have made a last-ditch effort to keep Kylian Mbappe at the club by shockingly offering him control of the club’s sporting operations. That would mean that the Frenchman will have complete authority over the club and will be able to choose managers and teammates. Mbappe’s contract with PSG is set to expire at the end of the season and the Ligue 1 giants are not willing to lose him for free. The Frenchman has helped PSG reclaim the league crown by scoring 25 goals and giving 17 assists, leading the league in both categories. He has 36 goals and 26 assists this season. Despite the fact that he has just six weeks until becoming a free agent, the Ligue 1 giants have offered him a startling offer in an attempt to persuade him to stay. According to El Chiringuito TV, PSG has promised to make Mbappe “the owner of the project” from next season, allowing him to have a voice in who his teammates will be in the future. This would give him the power to replace managers and players in the squad as he sees fit. That means the Frenchman might have the power to force Messi’s sale if he so desires. Sky Sports also stated that if Mbappe signed a contract extension with PSG, he would get a hefty signing-on payment of up to £100 million, including image rights concessions and any on-field bonuses. Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi reportedly decided to give Mbappe responsibility for sports operations so that he could have a voice in Mauricio Pochettino’s future, which has been connected with the departure following their Champions League last-16 elimination to Real Madrid. Mbappe is expected to make an official announcement about his move to Real after the club’s Champions League final against Liverpool on May 28, according to the Spanish media. Kylian Mbappe is featured on the front cover of Marca, with the headline: ‘Yes, Mbappe has concluded the agreement to become a Madrid player.’ The headline on Tuesday’s edition of AS reads, “First Paris, then Mbappe,” referring to the fact that the final will be hosted at the Stade de France in Paris. Mbappe is expected to say his goodbyes to Paris Saint-Germain in the next week, with Real Madrid confirming the free move following the final. With a five-year deal due to be signed, Mbappe will be the best-paid player in the club’s history and his release clause will be the greatest in international football, according to AS. After Kylian Mbappe hinted that an announcement will be made during the Ligue 1 awards ceremony on Sunday night, it looks like Mbappe transfer sage is swiftly coming to a close. ‘I can’t say about my future but you’ll know very soon… it’s almost decided,’ the French international said. ‘This isn’t the right moment but yes, yes… my decision is almost done.’ If a move to Real Madrid is confirmed, it will bring an end to a transfer story that has lasted over a year. Last summer, Los Blancos attempted to recruit Mbappe, but PSG turned down three offers ranging up to £154 million. All of this suggests that Mbappe’s final game for PSG might be this Saturday’s home match against Metz, which will complete their league season.

Despite that, nothing has been done yet, as per some reports. On the other hand, there are other stories that suggest things are done with either club in the driving seat. What Did Mbappe’s Mother Fayza Lamari Say About The Real Madrid Off Amid PSG Trying To Retain Her Son?Well, as the old saying goes, “MOTHER KNOWS BEST”!! Keeping that in mind, Mbappe’s mother has now come out and given an update regarding her son’s future. She has talked about what is on the table and what is the major difference in the deals offered to her son. Mbappe’s mother, Fayza Lamari spoke to Kora Plus in a recent interview when asked about the potential move to Real Madrid. She said, “The two offers, the one from PSG and the one from Real Madrid, are almost identical. At Real, my son will have control of his image rights. Now we will wait for his decision… The two offers do not differ much and we are waiting to let Mbappé choose what he wants.” “We will not have new meetings to discuss the future of Mbappé, these meetings are over. Now we have reached an agreement with both Real Madrid and PSG. The current discussions are over because now it is Kylian who has to choose.” Well, this is an interesting transfer saga that just does not seem to end. There are a lot of ups and downs with regards to his future, though both PSG and Real Madrid will hope that they can have Mbappe next season. The post Mbappe To Real Madrid?

There will be a lot at stake in this match, with both teams looking to lift another trophy this season. Real Madrid is the champion of Spain now, while Liverpool has won two domestic cups too.

What Predrag Mijatovic Said About The UCL Final And Why He Feels Real Madrid Are The Favourites?Talking about the UCL semi-final on Cadena Ser with ManagingMadrid, Mijatovic said, “Do not remember a game like the one against Manchester City. The energy of the people and the players was incredible. I had not seen anything like it at the Bernabeu.” Further, talking about the UCL final and the favourites to win this match, “What team in Europe has 8 players with 4 Champions Leagues? It is very difficult to achieve what Real Madrid has. I do not think Liverpool has a better team. Nobody has one as complete as Real Madrid.” With that being said, this will surely be a tough fight between two top European teams once again. This UCL final could be as intense as the last time when these two sides met. It will be a great game to watch for sure. The match was a great spectacle to watch when these two teams battled it out in the 2018 final.
