This week, Mbappe dropped the shocking tidbit that he has no plans to extend his contract with the French champions past 2024.
With PSG now in a tight spot, the development has Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, and other elite European teams on high alert.
Despite Mbappe's promise that he will stay another season, they may try to cash in now because they are desperate to avoid losing him for free next summer.
The top page of the Madrid-based newspaper Marca featured Mbappe's future with the heading La Partida del Verano, or "The summer game."
On playing cards with Mbappe were PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and his Real Madrid counterpart Florentino Perez, the major players in a potential move.
The latest development, according to Marca, "reopens the soap opera between Mbappe and Real Madrid."
According to the newspaper, PSG would be open to offers and would not object to negotiations with Real Madrid.
Despite highlighting their need for a new forward in the wake of Karim Benzema's exit, the Spanish giants are reportedly waiting to see how PSG would react to Mbappe's assertion that he wants to stay in Paris for the final year of his contract.
The France international has long been a target of Real, who are anticipated to be his first choice of clubs after PSG.

However, after learning that Mbappe will not exercise a 12-month option on his current contract, Real is debating whether to move those plans forward a year.
In an interview with the Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport, Mbappe discussed his future.
"Winning everything is the objective for a player like me." And we were aware that PSG had flaws for which we would eventually be held accountable,' he continued.
I merely said that I wouldn't exercise the option on the extra year, not that I wanted to be sold to Real Madrid or that I wanted to leave.
There has never been any discussion of a renewal with PSG. Messi no longer exists? Unfortunately, it must now be replaced.
