Maybe Mbappe really doesn’t want to leave but just wants more money from PSG. Neymar prolly has better wages than him and prolly wants that. We’ll find out how it all pans out and what’s really up by January. But I’m pretty sure big clubs are already watching.

That could be possible but I think a while ago there was a report that PSG would do anything to keep Mbappe. He was also offered a better contract a while ago and was offered a better deal than Neymar according to reports ^[1] . And he has told that he doesn't wants to sign a contract and wants a fresh challenge ^[2]. What you said is a pretty good trick for the club to push and give them an enticing offer but in case of Mbappe I hardly think so. He is young and so wants a change.

Money does have a huge impact, but everything can not be measured by money. High loyalty can beat money (an example is Messi), as well as for young players who expect new challenges, in order to fulfill their desires they can do anything because they still have a long journey and the money will come by itself.

It's not a good thing to keep a player who has no heart for his club anymore, besides being able to affect performance, it can also affect the team's atmosphere.
