Kylian Mbappe ‘tells PSG he WON’T renew his contract beyond 2025 in a MAJOR transfer bombshell’… with Ligue 1 side facing selling superstar to avoid losing him for free
Kylian Mbappe has told Paris Saint-Germain he will not extended his contract beyond 2025 in a move that may force his club to sell him this summer.
The striker’s deal is set to run down at the end of the 2023-24 campaign but with PSG unwilling to let him leave for free, he may be offloaded over the coming weeks.
According to L’Equipe, Mbappe informed PSG figures of his decision in a letter.
The fresh terms the 24-year-old penned last summer run initially for two years, with the option of a further year included. However, it has now emerged that Mbappe does not intend to remain at the Parc des Princes beyond the final year of his deal.
As a result, he is poised to enter one last campaign with the Ligue 1 champions.
Should he decide against triggering the extra year, the superstar will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with a club outside France from next January.
PSG splashed out around £155million to sign Mbappe from Monaco in 2018 and may now be contemplating cashing in to make some form of return on their investment.
Real Madrid have held a long-standing interest in the France international and are understood to be actively searching for a new forward this summer.
Mbappe made a dramatic U-turn in 2021 after an approach from Madrid in 2021 and had been expected to join Los Blancos when his contract expired a year later.
He opted to stay at PSG, though, and agreed the extension that takes him to 2024.
