A strange clause in Mbappe's PSG loan deal-to-be stipulates that only an unthinkable scenario will ensure the Ligue 1 giants don't shell out the huge sum to make the move permanent

With Mbappe’s loan deal to PSG imminent, Le Parisien have claimed that there's only one way the capital club won't be obliged to pay €180m for the Monaco star next summer – if they're relegated this season.

Given that PSG are... well, PSG, it's probably safe to assume that they won't be troubling the likes of Amiens and Dijon towards the bottom of the table. 

PSG Record Signings

None

Neymar - €222m

Edinson Cavani - €64.5m 

Angel Di Maria - €63m

David Luiz - €49.5m

Thiago Silva - €42m 

Javier Pastore - €42m 

The one-year loan deal is set to be announced imminently, meaning Mbappe – who is currently training with the French national team at Clairefontaine – will link up with world record signing Neymar. Eesh. 

Le Parisien state that PSG have no further hurdles to climb over and that they are merely waiting for other transfer business to complete before announcing the 18-year-old’s arrival.

The pressure's on, Unai.
