Mercato: PSG misses a star, Mbappé regrets

Published on August 19, 2023 at 00:00

Excluded from the first team for several weeks, Kylian Mbappé is back with PSG. While his contract expires in June 2024, the French striker seems determined to stay in Paris this season, but does not rule out extending in Paris. With the new Parisian signings, the Frenchman feels good, although he would have truly liked to play alongside Bernardo Silva.

This summer, PSG clearly shook up the summer transfer window both in terms of arrivals and departures. Thus, Paris completed the signings of 10 new players in recent weeks, but also made very good sales, including that of the Brazilian Neymar to Al-Hilal for €90M. Furthermore, the Parisian club managed to reduce its wage bill with the departures of several unwanted players such as Mauro Icardi, Leandro Paredes, Abdou Diallo, and Renato Sanches.

PSG tried everything for Bernardo Silva

But in terms of arrivals, PSG seems to have finally launched its revolution desired since the summer of 2022 by President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. After Lionel Messi and Neymar’s exits, Paris now wants to recruit players with different profiles, less exposed, more hardworking. Last February, le10sport.com exclusively revealed the priority of PSG’s summer transfer window. Thus, Paris fought to recruit Bernardo Silva from Manchester City.

Mbappé would have really liked to play with Bernardo Silva

However, PSG stumbled upon the intransigence of the Citizens in this Bernardo Silva case. As we affirmed last Sunday, the Parisian club finally abandoned the track leading to the Portuguese winger, who is expected to extend his contract with Manchester. This Friday, Le Parisien states that although Kylian Mbappé is very satisfied with PSG’s summer transfer window, he would have truly liked to be able to play with Bernardo Silva in Paris. As a reminder, the two players played together at AS Monaco during the 2017-2018 season.
