The “technical issues” that forced UEFA to redo the 2021/22 Champions League last 16 draw may have altered more than just the short-term fates of the clubs involved. The fact that the redo paired Paris Saint-Germain with Real Madrid may have significant implications in Kylian Mbappe’s future.
PSG were supposed to face Manchester United and Real Madrid were paired with Benfica in the original draw, but the rerun means the two capital city sides will face off in February and March.
With this the clear tie of the round and with all eyes on this two-legged affair, it would be almost impossible for Kylian Mbappé to agree pre-contract terms with Los Blancos ahead of this meeting. Even though he has been legally allowed to negotiate terms with any club since January 1st, given that his current PSG deal is expiring this summer, Mbappé can’t risk talking to PSG’s upcoming opponents.
The chances of such negotiations leaking to the media is too high and the backlash he’d face from PSG fans would be even bigger than it would be otherwise, if he is seen to be working with the enemy.
Even if Mbappé does go on to join Real Madrid ahead of the 2022/23 season, he is fully committed to winning a Champions League in Paris before leaving. “I will finish the season with PSG 100 percent,” he said in a recent CNN interview. "I will give everything I have to win the Champions League, the league and the cup and to give all the pleasure to the fans, because they deserve it. I think I deserve to win something great with PSG. I want to win everything this season.”
PSG’s extra time
With Mbappé parking any pre-contract talks with Real Madrid for the time being, this has bought PSG more time to try to convince the forward to stay.
According to ESPN, PSG are growing in confidence that they can convince Mbappé to agree to a short-term contract extension. They know he wants to play for Real Madrid one day, but want him to stay for at least one more campaign.
With every day that passes, the Frenchman moves closer to the day when he’ll become a free agent. But, with every day that passes, it’s also another day in which PSG can try to persuade their player to stay. That’s a concern for Real Madrid.

I think both Mbappe and Real Madrid should go with their current squad & team for the rest of the season. Benzema and Vinicius are doing great and Mbappe is doing great with PSG. I would be better if they continue without each other because if he join Real Madrid that may unsettle Real Madrid’s chemistry in the attack. He would definitely need some time to adapt and with UCL KO stages upcoming that maybe a disadvantage for both Mbappe and Real Madrid

Mbappe should think far because there’s no 2nd chance in Real Madrid he will regret 1 day if he failed to come
Perez doesn't give a second chance to a player and if he extends his contract in psg he will regret that very moment

Its ok to fear and panic over something you don't fully understand. Frankly, I like how Papa Perez has handled this whole Saga with Paris, credit to Mbappe as well. The only people am seeing in comments talking bad things are the one who don't understand the delicacy of the whole situo, one wrong move from both parties and Mbappe becomes the escape goat like Ousmane Dembele both from the PSG hierarchy and their fanbase. Just be patient and let the maestro one Papa work his magic in the background and see Mbappe don the first Merengues Jersey cuz it's not too late and PSG have miserably failed to make him sign anything and why would he sign now when everything is now within his power and choice! Just think about it!!!

I think Mbappe also has to contemplate the fact that it might be now or never for Mbappe to come to Real Madrid, if he decides to sign a new contract with PSG I don’t see a reason to why PSG would be willing to sell him at any point as they weren’t willing when RM put 200 million on the table with only 1 year left of his contract. And if RM don’t get him, they will go all in for Haaland, and then they will be scouting for other RW. So if Mbappe wants to play for RM he might only have this summer to make the move.
Madrid wont bid 200m again if he extends that ends it

If mbappe doesn't come this summer we must never offer him and we must go all for haland and mbappe will suffer not Madrid it's a win win situation for Madrid

I don't think he will stay in PSG. His mind is made up. Besides, he knows he might never get another opportunity to sign for Real Madrid because PSG is a small club with big money who will never allow him to leave under contract unless he's no longer needed. Madrid knocks on your door only once.

His A Great Player which any team would love to have, having him is like having a special set of skills that when unleashed will cause a lot of damage and more wins so We hope he makes the right decisions and we as football fans not Real Madrid or PSG fans but As a lover of football respect him and the game because no matter the decision he makes affects his personal life and that of football as a whole too. So More Support To Mbappe
