I think it's quite natural because now, especially with Ronaldo and Messi, who were always the center of the news at first, now that they are having a season in the Arab league and MLS, there won't be much news for them in the middle of their remaining contracts, so there's nothing other than European players who are on the way on the rise and in hanging contracts.
Mbappe's contract at PSG has one season remaining and with the ultimatum that PSG gave Mbappe some time ago about a contract extension or leaving at a high price it will also elicit mixed reactions and surely the media will use that to their advantage in the news stock.
Mbappé is obviously the next prodigy along with Erling Haaland for sure. So obviously whenever there is a chance their media houses are going to publish news about both of them. Sometimes they do not even check if it is true or not. Whenever there is a rumor there is the news about them. And mostly about Mbappé because he was supposed to move almost 2 seasons ago.
Of course, they are going to make these types of news because this news are going to get traction. There is nothing official about Mbappé moving out from PSG. But there are a lot of news being circulated around this very thing.
I really hope that Mbappé is not going to extend his contract.
Therefore, when looking at the condition of Mbappe, it is clear that the news will always be sought for him regardless of whether the news is true or not, the media does not really want to know that the most important thing is that they have news to report.
Talking about Mbappe's contract now, he is actually in an uncertain condition especially there is a condition where he refused an automatic contract extension for one year which of course this will create a lot of polemics and lead to the possibility of him leaving.
But if indeed he extends the contract back at PSG in the end this could be something very unfortunate because I still feel he will not develop rapidly if he continues to be in Ligue 1.
