Why Kylian Mbappé choosing to stay with Paris Saint-German is such a huge deal, explained

Kylian Mbappé is keeping the power with PSG.

For nearly a calendar year since Lionel Messi chose to sign with Paris Saint-Germain in August, questions have been floating around about Kylian Mbappé’s future with the club.

It seemed pretty clear that his future was going to be with Real Madrid with the club in hot pursuit of him last summer. They’d made a legitimate run at him and things actually seemed close at one point.

But, now, here we are. Mbappé isn’t going anywhere. The most incredible young talent in the football world has signed a new deal with PSG that’ll keep him with the club until 2025, according to Fabrizio Romano.

This is a pretty big deal. It completely shifts the balance of power in football. I know that sounds weird since he’s staying, but it makes sense.

Follow me real quick on this.

Dortmund is playing with a bunch of young stars on their squad and is looking to prove something against a PSG team who can score quickly. Dortmund is only in need of a draw in this match and may not attack like they normally would in their matches, so look for PSG to exploit that and attack heavy to pounce on a team who may be playing a bit slow tonight.
