In yet another attack against PSG, Kylian Mbappe has used Lionel Messi's departure and the club's "shortcomings" as justifications for his choice not to sign a contract extension.
The French superstar broke the shocking announcement this week that he has no plans to sign new contracts 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 topic was discussed by the footballer in an interview with the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
For a player like me, the ultimate goal is to win every game, he declared. And we were aware that PSG had flaws for which we would eventually be held responsible.
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? Now, the bad news must be changed.
Mbappe responded online on Tuesday to a rumor that he wanted to sign with Real by writing, "LIES. I've previously stated that I'll stay at PSG, where I'm quite content.
However, it appears the 24-year-old is dissatisfied with how the club is run.
Despite their admiration for them, Chelsea and Manchester United have both deemed a transfer to them to be "very unlikely" due to the cost of the deal and Financial FairPlay regulations. Bayern Munich has also disqualified themselves from the possibility.
PSG has been trying to rekindle its relationship with a disgruntled fan base that feels the team has lost its French identity. While they expected to sell Neymar and that Lionel Messi had left, the loss of France's national hero Mbappe will be a setback for their aspirations.
Marcus Rashford of Manchester United would once again come into focus for the French champions if he were to leave.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Mbappe seemed upbeat on Tuesday as he exercised with France.
