Contract extension talks have lost momentum in recent months as the numbers demanded by his agent have increased. At the same time, a quiet threat to Saudi football is becoming increasingly apparent. The first signals received by both PSG and the players indicated a strong attack from Saudi football. For the club, the offer could reach 100 million euros, making it one of the highest salaries in the country for the player. If this offer materializes, PSG would find themselves in an unpleasant dilemma. Leaving would have been unthinkable just a few months ago, either to match an astronomical offer or to open the door for a Ballon d’Or winner.
