"Yes, there are discussions in Doha, we meet," admitted Leonardo at the microphone of Canal + Décalé.

"Discussions with Kylian, I think there have always been. Kylian speaks with us too, there is constant communication, he is still thinking, he sees everything," added the Brazilian on Saturday evening, after the conquest of the tenth French championship title for PSG.

"He is still in a moment of reflection, I think he is thinking. I think there is a possibility that he will stay. Ok, the contract will end, there is a possibility that he will leave, but I think he is really in a reflection", insisted the leader.

The Mbappé clan has not concealed its trip to Qatar, the country of the owners of PSG, revealed on social networks by the little brother of "Kyky", Ethan (15), himself a player for the Parisian club in the youth categories.

One-upmanship?

The mother of Ligue 1 top scorer Fayza Lamari was also present in Doha according to the press, while President Nasser al-Khelaïfi is in Qatar for the Ramadan period.

Relaunched on the subject in the mixed zone, Mbappé assured that "nothing had changed" compared to his last outing on the subject, where he said he was still thinking.

With the conquest of L1, PSG's attention is now turned to the sporting reconstruction of the club for next season, with the fear of losing gratis Mbappé, acquired in 2017 for 180 M EUR, i.e. at the time the second most high transfer of history.

Spanish media have mentioned an overbidding of the Mbappé clan for the signing bonus, denied by the player's entourage.

Conversely, the German daily Bild mentioned the existence of a pre-contract which would have been signed between Real Madrid and the representatives of the world champion.

All that remains is to refine the agreement on the player's image rights, which the "White House" only exceptionally shares with its stars, such as Cristiano Ronaldo in the past, for example.

The Mbappé clan has shown its acumen on these issues with Kylian's boycott of a marketing session in the France team, to "move the lines", explained his advisers, and clearly distinguish the part of the star.
