Mbappé Decides Not to Extend Contract With PSG
French football star Kylian Mbappé has reportedly informed his club Paris Saint-Germain that he will not be taking the option to extend his contract, which expires in 2024, for another season. This news was reported by both French sports daily "L'Equipe" and the "New York Times," citing their own sources and information. If true, Mbappé would become a free agent in the summer of 2024, leaving PSG with a dilemma: sell him for a lot of money this summer or keep him for another year and receive no transfer fee.
According to "L'Equipe," Mbappé’s decision has caused quite a stir at PSG, and his departure this summer is not out of the question. The "New York Times" even reported that Mbappé had already informed PSG officials of his intention to leave in a written communication.
Potential Loss of Another Star for PSG
If Mbappé does leave, he would be the next big player to depart PSG following the recent transfer of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami and the departure of Spanish World Cup winner Sergio Ramos. PSG is already undergoing a transition period, and the future of coach Christophe Galtier is also unclear.
Real Madrid's Pérez Makes Promise of Mbappé Transfer
If Mbappé does leave, he will get to choose his next destination, and Real Madrid has been rumored to be interested in him for quite some time. In fact, Real Madrid's President, Florentino Pérez, was recently asked in a video if he would sign Mbappé. Pérez replied that they would, but not this year.
