Kylian Mbappe: Future of PSG hangs in the balance

Kylian Mbappe has informed Paris Saint-Germain that he will not be extending his contract until 2025, despite his current deal running until the end of the 2023/24 season. As a result, there is a possibility that the 24-year-old may be sold this summer as PSG will not want to risk losing him for nothing.

Mbappe's contract situation at PSG remains a hot topic, as negotiations continue for a potential new deal. According to recent reports, Mbappe's current contract was actually structured as a two-year agreement with a one-year option, despite initial claims of a three-year deal. This means that Mbappe could choose to extend his stay at PSG beyond 2022, or explore other options in the future. The French striker's future is closely monitored by many top clubs around Europe, who are eager to secure his services if he becomes available.

Mbappe's current contract is set to expire soon, leaving him with only one more year to play for PSG. While the team managed to convince him to extend his contract last year, it remains uncertain whether he will do the same this time around. Should he choose not to activate the extra year in his contract, he will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with a club outside of France as early as January.

'There will be PL interest, but Mbappe has his heart set on Real'

PSG is determined to avoid losing the player for free next summer and therefore, they will not allow his contract to expire without taking action. This leaves the possibility of him being sold during this transfer window if he doesn't agree to extend or sign a new contract.

Reports suggest that negotiations for a new contract for the player were going smoothly and PSG were optimistic about reaching an agreement. However, there are several Premier League clubs that have the financial capability to outspend even Real Madrid, including Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United (if they have new owners). Liverpool has also been linked with the player in the past. Therefore, there is a potential for a bidding war to secure the player's services.

He has always been very vocal about his love for the club and it is no secret that joining Real Madrid is a dream for him. Despite potential interest from Premier League clubs, the financial demands of such a move would be significant and his heart is truly set on playing for the Spanish giants."

Last year, he signed a contract with PSG and proudly displayed a shirt with "2025" on the back. However, it was within his power to stay for an additional year, meaning the shirt should have read "2024." By sending a letter to both the media and PSG, he has made it clear that he can leave for free next summer. The ball is now in PSG's court - will they allow one of the world's top players to depart for nothing?

PSG is currently in a state of frustration as they did not want this entire situation to resurface, especially so soon after the Champions League final. Mbappe has once again caused a stir and everyone is on edge. The matter at hand is quite complex, as there was no urgency for Mbappe to send out the letter. The deadline for contract renewal was not until July 31, which was seven weeks away. PSG is puzzled as to why Mbappe would feel the need to send the letter when he could have simply waited until the deadline.
