Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe approached teammate and close friend Achraf Hakimi, asking him not to comment on Mbappe's future plans. "Don't say anything if they ask you, brother. You know what you need to know," Mbappe told Hakimi, emphasizing their trust and friendship.
In recent times, the Moroccan defender has grown closer to Mbappe and is well aware of his true desires and intentions regarding his sporting future. Hakimi, a former Real Madrid player, has even shared stories of his own experiences at the Santiago Bernabéu, giving Mbappe an insight into life in Madrid, including several visits to the Spanish capital.
Earlier, it was reported that Mbappe had officially informed PSG in writing that he would not extend his contract until 2025. This letter became public before the club's management received it, which raised eyebrows in the football community. Given this situation, there are growing concerns that Mbappe could soon be on PSG's list of players to sell in the summer transfer window, especially since he could leave Paris as a free agent next year.
This developing saga not only impacts Mbappe and Hakimi, but also has significant ramifications for PSG as they navigate a pivotal moment in building their team. As speculation continues, the relationship between the two players will likely play a crucial role in how they handle media demands and the uncertainty surrounding their futures.
