Several clubs, including Premier League teams, have approached Paris Saint-Germain in the past few days regarding the possibility of acquiring Kylian Mbappe. It is reported that there is already a strong demand for the French captain, and PSG anticipates further advancements in the coming week.
PSG have received various offers for Mbappe, which comprise cash and player exchanges. The champions of France have listed Mbappe for sale and excluded him from their squad for the pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea. They have explicitly stated their intention to only include players who demonstrate utmost commitment to the club.
The forward's contract has just one year left, and he is unwilling to extend it. PSG suspects that he has already committed to joining Real Madrid for free next year. PSG is determined not to let Mbappe go without compensation, considering he was signed from Monaco for a reported fee of over £150m.
Interested clubs have been notified of PSG's willingness to lend Mbappe for the entire season. Nevertheless, Mbappe is determined to stand firmly, remain on the bench next season, and depart for Madrid without any transfer fee next summer.
The 24-year-old will not play for PSG again if he does not extend his contract.
'PSG just want Mbappe to leave'
We News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol:"Who will be able to afford Kylian Mbappe? Rumor has it that he earns around £2m per week at PSG. The loyalty bonuses he receives are extraordinary.
It has been rumored that if he remains at PSG for one more season, he could potentially earn over £100m."
What is interesting is that PSG is open to letting him go on loan in the upcoming season. Consequently, clubs interested in acquiring him won't necessarily have to concern themselves with a transfer fee. Instead, they can opt to have him on loan for one season and agree to cover his wages.
Regarding PSG, their main objective is for him to depart. However, it is important to note that the player holds a advantageous position due to his existing contract. If he desires, he can opt to forgo the upcoming season and transfer to Real Madrid without any fee next summer.
It has come to my attention that PSG has received various offers. Individuals who have reached out to the club have proposed loan deals, purchases, as well as player-exchange deals, combined with monetary compensation.

France's players' union threatens PSG with legal action
clubs include two or three from the Premier League, as well as from Italy, Spain and Saudi Arabia. France's players' union has accused PSG of morally harassing Mbappe and threatened the club with legal action to protect the forward's rights.The Union Nationale des Footballeurs Professionels (UNFP) declared that it is imperative for all players to have equal working conditions comparable to other professionals. The UNFP also emphasized the significance of reminding managers that exerting pressure on employees, such as deteriorating their working conditions, to coerce them into leaving or complying with employer's demands is regarded as moral harassment, which is strongly condemned under French law.
So, yes, the UNFP reserves the right to take civil and criminal action against any club that behaves in this way.
