The 24-year-old World Cup champion from France is still being linked to a transfer to Real Madrid.
According to sources, Kylian Mbappe has informed Paris St. Germain that he will not sign a one-year contract extension. As a result, he may be sold this summer or be eligible to become a free agency at the end of the 2019–2020 season.
The 24-year-old continues to be linked with a transfer to Real Madrid after signing for the Spanish club for £160 million in 2018, a record deal for a youngster.
Mbappe's decision, which was announced in a formal letter and came after Lionel Messi announced his leaving for Major League Soccer team Inter Miami, reportedly left the PSG administration in a state of shock.
Now it appears that PSG will have to decide whether to sell Mbappe—who notched a hat-trick in France's 2022 World Cup final loss to Argentina—or allow him to depart the organization for free in June 2024.
According to French media reports, PSG was hopeful that Mbappe's contract would be extended.
Real Madrid, though, might now increase their interest in the forward position as they attempt to replace veteran Karim Benzema following his transfer to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
The Paris Saint-Germain team appeared prepared to develop around Kylian Mbappé going into the 2023–24 campaign. When Lionel Messi's contract expires on June 30, he will be going, and Neymar Jr. has been mentioned in several reports.
Though the 24-year-old wrote PSG a letter alerting the club that he does not intend to activate the one-year option in his contract, it is believed that Mbappé does not want to be a part of the project at PSG.
The moment the news was announced, the entire football community was rocked. Here is a quick summary of the details that various media sites have made public regarding the future of the France international in case you missed anything.
