PSG pulled off the unthinkable on Saturday and convinced Kylian Mbappe to stay as he put pen to paper on a new deal that will keep him in the French capital until 2025, despite heavy interest from Real Madrid. The details of his new contract are absolutely bonkers, with the club giving the 23-year-old a say in what players they sign, their next coach, and their next sporting director, with Mauricio Pochettino and Leonardo set to leave at the end of the season.
Via Fabrizio Romano and Romain Molina:
Kylian Mbappé will sign a three year deal with Paris Saint-Germain, the contract will be valid until 2025. It was approved in the morning. 📑🤝 #Mbappé
Pochettino & Leonardo are expected to leave, as @Romain_Molina says – PSG are already exploring options to replace them. #PSG pic.twitter.com/ZAispywrVz

The PSG striker will receive a €300 million signing bonus and is set to be paid €100 million per season after taxes. Insane. As noted, Paris is already exploring options for their next boss and sporting director and it's clear Mbappe will be a deciding figure in who the Ligue 1 giants hire for both positions.
According to reports, Mbappe was not a fan of Leonardo, while Pochettino is expected to be sacked after a disappointing Champions League Round of 16 exit against Real Madrid. Zinedine Zidane is among the favorites to take over in the PSG dugout.
It shouldn't be any problem for PSG to find two new candidates, especially with their best player back in the fold. Hopefully, Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar can start to build some better chemistry in their second campaign together as well.
