Exclusive: Shocking Decision - Kylian Mbappe Set to Ditch PSG on Free Transfer in Bold Move Next Season!

Kylian Mbappe, determined to assert his authority, is ready to skip an entire season and depart Paris St-Germain at no cost next year. PSG officially listed him for sale on Friday, resulting in his exclusion from the team roster for the upcoming pre-season tour to Japan and South Korea. The club's stance is explicit: only players who display unwavering dedication and a desire to remain at the club will partake in the tour, as no individual player holds greater significance than the club itself.

Despite being the captain of France and having the Euros approaching next summer, Mbappe's initial response to the decision is his willingness to remain on the bench and refrain from playing at PSG until his contract expires.

He is determined to stand his ground and endure a whole season, leaving PSG with no power over him. He is prepared to challenge them and test their resolve to see who backs down first.

In spite of PSG's firm position, they will eventually be obligated to fully compensate him with his salary and bonuses until he departs for free next year.

PSG is certain that Mbappe has already made a firm commitment to join Real Madrid next summer without any transfer fee, a decision seen as a significant betrayal considering his previous statement of never leaving for free.

When training resumed this month, the club made an effort to seek clarification from Mbappe, but the player has not communicated anything thus far.

PSG, therefore, presuppose that Mbappe desires to depart without any cost, and preparations for life without him must commence, commencing with their Far East pre-season tour.

Mbappe is presently available for purchase and the club will initiate discussions with potential buyers, of whom there are numerous awaiting further progress.

PSG's six summer signings will be travelling to Japan and South Korea, together with the new coach Luis Enrique and all the positively-motivated squad.

The view from PSG insiders now is that the gloves are off and it's time to stand up for what's right.

SSN chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol:

PSG insiders view Mbappe's actions as a form of sabotage, detrimental to his own club while providing a significant advantage to their major rival through a complimentary transfer.

PSG firmly believes that Mbappe's motivations solely revolve around financial gain. By remaining in Paris until the following summer, he would secure substantial earnings and bonuses, exceeding £100 million. Subsequently, he could earn a signing-on fee of £160 million as a free agent in Madrid, accompanied by substantial wages, during the subsequent summer.

PSG insiders believe it's time to advocate for what is morally correct, as they no longer hold back.

For years, it has been claimed that the club does not assert itself with players. In the past, Lionel Messi and Mbappe would have been able to act without consequences, while PSG would have desperately begged them to remain. However, the current scenario is distinct - President Nasser Al-Khelaifi is unwavering in safeguarding the club's future.

Paris Saint-Germain is determined to maximize the sale of Kylian Mbappe by entertaining offers from various potential buyers. Emotions no longer play a role for PSG; their focus is solely on business. They view the transfer as a transaction and hold no preference regarding the destination of the player. Whether it be Real Madrid or Saudi clubs, PSG is open to engaging with any party willing to meet their financial requirements. Additionally, it is worth noting that there have already been multiple inquiries expressing interest in the player prior to officially listing him for sale tonight.

What have Al-Khelaifi and Mbappe said about each other?

"Despite publicly stating in recent weeks that he will remain in Paris next season, Kylian Mbappe has not requested a transfer this summer. Instead, he simply informed the club that he will not be activating his additional year.

The club's management, who are responsible for its expansion (officially agreed upon on May 21, 2022), were notified of the decision on July 15, 2022. The purpose of the letter was solely to confirm what had already been verbally discussed earlier.

Mbappe and his team assert that they have not brought up this matter with the club at any point throughout the year, except for 15 days ago when they informed the club about the letter. They have not mentioned the possibility of a new extension either.

Finally,

, and his team express their disappointment regarding the unauthorized disclosure of this letter to the media. They believe that this deliberate act aims to tarnish his reputation and disrupt the ongoing discussions with the club.

PSG are convinced Mbappe has already agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi stated in early July that he is unequivocal in his position. He emphasized that if Kylian intends to continue with the team, the club is eager to have him on board. However, it is crucial for him to ink a fresh contract.

We cannot afford to let go of the world's greatest player without any compensation. It is simply not acceptable, especially being a French club.

He explicitly mentioned that he would never depart without any financial gain. If, by any chance, he alters his decision today, it should not be held against me. It is crystal clear that we are determined to avoid losing the world's finest player without any payment.
