If that scenario does happen, expect Mbappe to be the bait to a circle of sharks in the transfer market. Every top club will have an offer on the table; a hope that they will be the ones to secure a truly generational talisman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As for PSG, panic will be starting to creep in. They\u2019ve just lost out on the Ligue 1 title against all odds for the first time since 2017 when they lost out to Monaco. The man at the centre of that team? Kylian Mbappe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Kylian Mbappe Contract Update: Forward Remains Unconvinced<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">PSG Must Keep Hold of Forward\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This summer, all of the parts have finally fallen into place for PSG. They have their star \u00a0manager in Mauricio Pochettino. They have their leader in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/07\/08\/sergio-ramos-paris-saint-germain-move\/\" target=\"_self\">Sergio Ramos<\/a> and they have another winner and man for the big occasion in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/06\/10\/georginio-wijnaldum-paris-saint-germain-move-completed\/\" target=\"_self\">Georginio Wijnaldum. <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They no longer look a nearly team with just two generational stars to boast. They look a side ready to challenge for Europe\u2019s greatest honours. And, for the first time, even the greatest of doubters would read that line somewhat convinced of its truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One problem has seemingly come to the fore, however, and that is Kylian Mbappe and his contract. Take from near the top of a Jenga tower and it does not fall. Take a piece from the bottom which takes far too long to dislodge, however, and the entire thing comes crashing down. Mbappe is the piece that keeps PSG together; the player that adds the needed fear factor. Take him away and PSG may fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tying Kylian Mbappe down to a new contract must remain PSG\u2019s biggest and most important goal if they want to remain on course for the top European prize.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"z-EGIpQIQKdglE_yb8n_YQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1233074173\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'z-EGIpQIQKdglE_yb8n_YQ',sig:'-STNYcm9V8lL2pbIySymdeUQG_Q6w3E_6l0RnLEvnRg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1233074173',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest Kylian Mbappe contract update does not bode well for Paris Saint-Germain.
