A very clear message, and the genesis of a new series which is likely to last all summer. Either way, this is potentially good news for Paris Saint-Germain, whose interest in the player had already been confirmed by the agent in the recent past. Very tough in negotiations, Aurelio de Laurentiis will however be a huge obstacle in this case of replacing Kylian Mbappé…
