No, Mbappe extended his contract because there was some pressure being put on him by the PSG coach and of course Mbappe coul but comply with all these requests.
For benefit, Mbappe is not actually the one who can get this benefit because if there is an offer from another team to recruit Mbappe then PSG has the right to decide on the price and accept the offer.
Moreover, every purchase fee becomes the team profit, not entirely the player profit, but on the other hand, it could also be a very high price given by PSG because they don't want to lose player like Mbappe who is clearly one of the keys to their success.
Try to imagine what would happen to PSG if Mbappe was not with them and you can use the example at the start of the season when there was dispute between the coach and Mbappe which resulted in PSG not using Mbappe in every match until in the end PSG had difficulty winning.
Messi is gone, Neymar is also gone and the only star player left is Mbappe, so it is impossible for PSG to just let Mbappe go.
However, for next season, no one knows what Mbappe will be like and where he will stop to strengthen the football team when his contract expires.
What is clear is that Real Madrid is the only team closest to Mbappe in continuing his career after leaving PSG.

For PSG, Mbappe is a golden player. They don't want to lose Mbappe because of this. Some news has spread that Mbappe also wants to play in Real Madrid. If there is any truth to it, a Real Madrid transfer is also possible. If he had done something like this to earn more money from PSG, he would have accepted the astronomical offer from Saudi Arabia. I think the problem is not money.

I don't know what Mbappe wants by extending his contract at PSG. Is that a strategy from Mbappe so that if another club wants to sign him then they have to spend large amounts of money and make a tempting offer? Because I think what does Mbappe need from PSG? He's got everything there. Has PSG offered Mbappe a large salary so that he chooses to stay at PSG?

exactly! and this is what I meant a long time ago when PSG failed in the UCL.
I often say that even though PSG has 10 star players in its line up, PSG will not be able to win the UCL title if they continuously replace their coach because a coach needs a lot of time to study how PSG players can be more solid when competing in the UCL, at least they can be more consistent continued to survive until the final peak to win the UCL title and all this took a very long time, even Guardiola, who was the coach of Mam City, also did the same thing, survived longer and succeeded in providing the right strategy to be consistent until the final round and win the title.

what PSG needs is solid teamwork, not just relying on 1 player like Mbappe, because a team can win the UCL title, because all players play an important role in scoring as long as they have the opportunity to score, there is no need to pass the ball to striker players, for example Haaland Man City in the final round could win the trophy without Haaland score and even Real Madrid did the same.
and up to now it seems like PSG is still relying on Mbappe like at that time Dembele always had the chance to score but unfortunately had to pass to Mbappe so he failed to score and this often happens and we can see that Dembele has 5 assists from 15 matches.

most important thing is that the PSG owner must be patient and enjoy the process that is being carried out Enrique and it is true that what you said is nothing instant and at least PSG must have the experience of being able to reach the final round which is much better.

The of Luis Enrique's arrival provide a slight change and now PSG is facing quite tough competition in the Champions League in particular. The problem is not the number of star players they have because if this was the case we could see when Lionel Messi, Neymar, Ramos and several other great players were there. But even they also failed to compete in the Champions League and what PSG needs to do is build a stronger squad collectively.

Don't expect to instantly get a trophy in the Champions League by relying on quality players. Management needs to give Luis Enrique time to improve the existing squad and may need several other players as support, so that Luis Enrique can combine players with each other. If that is done then I am sure that in the future PSG will be successful slowly because nothing is actually instant.

I am afraid you are right, but I think Real Sociedad is still a team they can beat. But in Ligue 1 it is the same story as in some of the other leagues, if the best teams fail and only achieve a draw in their game, all others fail at the same time and can't put the favorites under pressure. PSG loses points, but in the end they won a point compared to Nice and Monaco. That is what makes the league boring.

PSG is only strong in Ligue 1 but their Champions League is still weak when facing other team. The quality of PSG player is no longer in doubt every season because many big star players have joined PSG but they have not been able to win the UCL trophy. In Ligue 1 PSG is quite strong, even this season they didn't start very well but now they have managed to lead the standings with a distance of 5 point from the second ranked team. Luis Enrique may need a lot of time to bring PSG to the UCL trophy because he needs to find more effective tactics when dealing with big teams like Manchester City.

PSG has an opponent that may not be too strong for them, namely Real sociedad, but they should not underestimate the team from Laliga because this season the Laliga team was able to win the group in each group. The first leg will be played at PSG home ground so that PSG can use the first leg to bring down their opponent's mentality if they manage to beat them.

French League is certainly different from the Champions League and that's what we are so sure about it.
In the Champions League, there are many teams that invested money like PSG in their teams, and in the Champions League, it's much harder for any team including PSG to race with the other teams.
While in the French League, PSG got much better players than all other teams and this team is definitely the first hope for winning the title there.
  

Lens has the same point as Marseille but Marseille is beating them with goal aggregate so any mistake on Marseille losing any match will cost them there position on the table, actually the both team are seriously on a competition against each other on the league, although there both performance are not quite impressive this season and also there performance are equal considering the matches they have played.

Lens will be meeting Nice on there next match on the home of Nice, so it will surely be a challenging match for the both team but however I don't think Lens can be able to stand against Nice because Nice has been one of best club on this season because they are able to maintain a good wining records and also they are leading with second place on the group, so perhaps with the look of things is very certain that the match is going to be a win match for Nice. So perhaps lens may not stand a chance to compete with Marseille because is obvious that they will lose there match against Nice while Marseille will surely win the match against Montpelier because they are more in agood performance than Montpelier.

Ligue One is a different League compare to UEFA Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain can be become potential targeted winners for the Ligue One because it's a domestic trophy that requires only lesser settled performance to win matches, comparable to the UCL were they will meet their fellow elite clubs who also can become more competitive and dominated over there opponents. Paris Saint-Germain failed to win the UEFA Champions League last season, where they have the presence of Leo Messi, Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe all in the frontline for PSG, then tell me, whose signings will lifts the UCL title for them? Only Kylian Mbappe won't be able to elevate PSG to the require position, a place were the supporters always portrayed hope for.

PSG in the last season had many famous players like Messi and Neymar in this team and they were all in the form in which we're thinking PSG should win the Chmpanios League title with this team they have got because of the superstars they got in the team but PSG failed and now without of these players, I think they are not in the situation in which we can expect to see this team winning the Chmpanios Leageu even with their new coach Enrique.

In fact, that's what Paris Saint-Germain is currently doing, they are trying to rebuild their squad without many star names. then, Luis Enrique was assigned to shape it according to the characteristics that Enrique wanted. the point is, PSG inevitably has to be ready to let Mbeppe go. although it seems that the club management is always trying to keep him as long as they want. however, if Mbappe is unanimous in his decision, nothing can be expected by just leaving it be. OK, so I agree with what you said. now, PSG is different from previous seasons from my point of view. yeah, they bring in more young players than players who are quite established and ready to fight for the Champions League trophy. however, it seems that the mega project with many star names like last season will now not be continued. that's why I often say, this season PSG is not targeting the trophy they have always dreamed of. PSG are starting to do what they have to do, just like City did in the beginning before they became a team as strong as they are today. regarding the players they will bring in, we'll just have to wait until January.

Talking about Mbappe, almost all football fans know the big name of this big star player from France. it is rumored that he will end his contract this season, thereby opening up opportunities for clubs interested in bringing in his services. although so far, the player has always been linked with Real Madrid. Well, because Mbappe is still in the PSG uniform to this day. and there are no new rumors relating to him, we'll just have to see how far he will go to show his best version in the final season with PSG.

Lens is currently in the 7th position. They will be keeping a close eye on the teams that are ahead of them. Because the point difference is slowly getting out of their hand. They will have to keep winning consistently and stop dropping points as well. Because there is the only way they are actually going to be able to stay at the top of the table and probably even give fight for the top four places. Yes, they are doing pretty well. But they still have to do a lot better. They will have to be consistent. There is no place for complacency for them.

I think it will be easier than what people think. Mbappe as an individual player is great and I am not arguing against that, he has done so much for this club and he is still their best player. But they have improved all other positions to a better player, which means that they should be fine when he finally leaves. They realized that they can't get a better player than Mbappe, but slowly they have changed the team because of that.

Up until even last year, Mbappe played like a striker, Neymar was on left wing, now they put Mbappe back to left wing many games, and put Muani to striker instead, they are literally gearing up towards not having him. He didn't extend his contract and we are nearly at January, which means he can sign with any team he wants by January, and will be free to leave for that club at the end of the season. Players are not allowed to talk about contract deals when they are contracted up until there is less than 6 months left, and January will be that time.

PSG management is certainly trying its best to persuade Mbappe to choose to stay and renew his contract, by offering a large salary to match the incoming offer. Not only that, management is also building a club consisting of star players around Mbappe, as well as recruiting quality and experienced managers of the caliber of Luis Enrique. The aim is none other than to convince everyone, especially Mbappe, that sooner or later PSG will achieve great success, and they want this success to involve PSG and Mbappe simultaneously. Choosing to stay and achieve success with PSG will make Mbappe a club legend, of course the success in question is winning the European Champions League trophy and marrying it with the Ligue 1 trophy.

This scenario should go according to plan, but all decisions are in Mbappe own hands. The striker now has bargaining value beyond his club, even Real Madrid who want to sign him, from a business perspective this is a threat in terms of big losses for PSG. Mbappe attitude is what can open everyone eyes, I assume that in the future, in the interests of clubs in avoiding losses due to free transfers, there will be detailed updates to the agreements in their players contracts. Madrid offers the guarantee of a UCL championship that is one step closer, but staying at PSG will make him a great legend. Let's just wait for the end of this transfer polemic, where Mbappe will land his feet next season.

In the Ligue 1, there are teams that are putting up great competitions for PSG even though they're the upper handed side buh Monaco and Nice are also good sides that aim for the title too. PSG are a good side and they're opting for the trophy this season, they actually can earn it if there's not a reason for them to slack in their performance.

 They'll be facing Lille in their next league game encounter and most likely to be get a win in the game. Comparing both teams, PSG seems better and theyve got the higher chance of winning. For Lille, they'll fight to keep a draw knowing that they may not have all it takes to win the game. Whichever way, the points already earned and to be earned will be borne in their minds and it'll have effect on how the performance will be.

PSG doesn't look like a team that will be winning too many trophies asides the Ligue 1 title because the definitely look like one of the biggest back there in Ligue 1, they are actually the biggest currently and have the best squad in the french league. But than PSG to me doesn't look like a team where a player can stay to ascend the peak of their career.

Mbappes decision to stay back at PSG isn't a good one for his career but then I think he knows what he wants and so let's hope it turns out well for him, he has always dreamed of lifting the UCL but then I don't see that possible at PSG earlier he was so indecisive about his movement from PSG and Real Madrid who were interested in him lost interest due to his decision a d I think that would have been the best place for him to see this dream of his come true and him making it big in his career, I'm hopeful he helps PSG win more trophies and he attains the peak of his career in PSG.

I don't think it's too far of a stretch to expect PSG to do well in the Champions League because anyway, for domestic competitions like the Coupe de France. In fact, PSG does not always manage to get the trophy because yes, if PSG is a French eilt team then it should have good dominance also in the Coupe de France. But ya, in fact PSG does not always have good results too and therefore, it is not surprising that PSG also does not always win for matches played in Ligue 1.

But for me, the draw that occurred between the Lille v PSG match, was actually not surprising at all if PSG failed to win. Because anyway, basically Lille is also not a weak team and thus, I did not choose PSG to win in the match. Because anyway, there is no guarantee that it will also be consistent to win, moreover PSG playing away against Lille and obviously, there is no strong guarantee for PSG to beat Lille in that match.

Maybe PSG used to be too excessive in spending so much money on just one player, but over time this team seems to be starting to realize that building a competitive squad is not just about star players and they have to start by looking for talented players from other continents so they can hone them better when was at the club. I think PSG is like Manchester City in the EPL which has good financial strength but the difference is that Manchester City can always compete in the Champions League competition and PSG always loses in important rounds. Even though these two teams have almost the same squad depth, the difference on the field is quite large.

Well, now there is only Mbappe left as a star player at PSG and next season I'm not sure he will stay at PSG even though his contract has ended and he might actually leave PSG. Disaster or not depends on management whether they can do it without star players or not, if they are still dependent then it will get worse and only Ligue 1 can they dominate every season.

That's PSG, and everyone can probably judge for themselves why until now PSG can only experience domestic trophies in Ligue1 and still can't experience more prestigious trophies such as in the UCL. So if you are a PSG supporter, then don't be discouraged because PSG's abilities are like that and nothing more than that now, especially if this season there aren't that many star players there anymore so PSG will just be as usual in hoping for trophies. Namely in Ligue1, not in the UCL even though PSG qualified for the next round in the UCL.
