The standoff between Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain has reached a boiling point, and Live Cricket BPL insiders reveal that tensions have now escalated beyond repair. With Ousmane Dembélé nearing a move to PSG, many believe he is being positioned as Mbappé’s replacement. For the French superstar, it now seems like only a matter of time before his departure becomes official. When there’s been no effort, there’s no real excuse to give up—but PSG appears to be doing everything in its power to push him out.

Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is reportedly deeply frustrated with Mbappé, and PSG is acting swiftly to fill the void. Alongside Dembélé, the club is working to finalize a deal for Gonçalo Ramos. If both deals go through, Mbappé’s role will become redundant in the eyes of the club’s leadership. While there were earlier rumors that PSG would bench Mbappé for the entire season, few believed the club would actually take such a drastic measure. But now, things have escalated even further—PSG is planning to strip Mbappé of his iconic No. 7 shirt.

Such a move would leave no room for reconciliation. According to Live Cricket BPL sources, PSG intends to give the No. 7 jersey to Dembélé, signaling a new leadership era. Meanwhile, Real Madrid continues to explore the possibility of bringing Mbappé to Spain. Although Madrid isn’t rushing the process, their preseason performances suggest a clear need for reinforcement up front. Aside from Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo, the likes of Brahim Díaz and Joselu haven’t proven reliable in attack.

With the new season fast approaching, it’s clear that a Mbappé-less Real Madrid could struggle to meet expectations. In response, Los Blancos are preparing a €100 million offer. The situation is becoming increasingly transparent: PSG is desperate to sell, and once Real Madrid submits a formal bid, the French club will have no choice but to consider it. Otherwise, they risk losing Mbappé for free next summer. Still, Madrid’s total transfer budget is fixed, and they have no intention of overextending themselves regardless of how the deal is structured.

At present, the ball remains in Mbappé’s court. Curiously, the star forward appears unfazed, still vacationing as the saga unfolds. Live Cricket BPL analysts argue that a swift move to Madrid would benefit all parties. For Mbappé, it’s a chance to fulfill his lifelong dream and exit PSG on more amicable terms. For Real Madrid, acquiring one of the world’s best players would immediately strengthen their title ambitions. And for PSG, a sale would bring in substantial funds and allow the club to save face. Sometimes, even the biggest dreams get branded by time—but in this case, a timely decision could help everyone move forward.
