Nasser Al-Khelaifi is plotting his 'revenge' on Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid, according to Spanish and French media.
The saga surrounding the Frenchman's contract shows no sign of subsiding anytime soon. On the contrary, things continue to get uglier and crazier. Though reports that new PSG head coach Luis Enrique is ready to quit over this drama were rubbished by Fabrizio Romano, French media is doubling down on claims that sporting director Luis Campos could be axed by Al-Khelaifi.
And he won't be the only one who will be made to pay by the 'all-powerful Nasser,' as Footmercato have called him. The Qatari bigwig regrets his decision to yield to Mbappe's demands and offer him a new contract last year.
It was he, rather than head coach Luis Enrique, who banished the Frenchman from the first-team squad. Enrique was apparently keen on working with the 24-year-old, but it is ultimately Al-Khelaifi who calls the shots, says Footmercato. There is undeniable tension at PSG, but it's not enough to make the Spaniard quit.

Reports have indicated that Al-Khelaifi could take the matter to FIFA and lodge a complaint with football's governing body, but Spanish media claim that that is not the end of it. COPE asserts that the 49-year-old has leaked information provided by Mbappe's mother and agent Fayza Lamari as revenge.
Real Madrid will feel his wrath
SPORT goes even further and contends that even Real Madrid will feel his wrath. The report alleges that PSG will eventually try to lure some of their young stars to Paris.
Al-Khelaifi will try to sign Eduardo Camavinga, "[Aurelien] Tchouaméni, Rodrygo and even Nico Paz, a youth player from 'La Fábrica' who has already amazed Carlo Ancelotti."

"Although this seems an unlikely scenario," the report goes on, "in the offices of the Parisian club they always have an ace up their sleeve."
