The Parisian club have been instructed to play hardball so as to shift the balance of power in contract negotiations with the French forward.
Paris Saint-Germain have been urged to bench Kylian Mbappe “all year” if he refuses to commit his future to the club.
Mbappe continues to stall putting pen to paper on fresh PSG terms despite entering the final 12 months of his current contract.
The Ligue 1 champions find themselves in a tricky situation as they might have to cash in on their star player this summer or lose him for free next year.
PSG, on the other hand, are keen to continue enjoying the services of the 22-year-old, who has become an integral part of their team and has scored 111 goals through 127 appearances so far in the club colors, for the foreseeable future.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, remain hopeful of landing Mbappe, who they supposedly believe is their next ‘Galactico’ signing.
“The problem in this story is that by letting him go into the last year of his contract, he is the one who holds the cards,” Di Meco told RMC Sport.
“What you can do when you are PSG and you are powerful is say: ‘You don’t want to continue [with us]? Well you can stay on the bench all year’.
“Paris has the means to do it. And by doing that, you show the guys who arrive that they cannot run the show.”
