Kylian Mbappe has told Paris Saint-Germain he will not take up the option of a 12-month extension on his contract, which expires at the end of next season, according to multiple reports.
The reports added that the France superstar confirmed his decision in a letter to PSG, who are adamant they won’t let Mbappe leave as a free agent, raising the possibility of immediate moves by other clubs and a potential transfer this summer.
Mbappe refused to discuss his PSG future following their Champions League round-of-16 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in March, another disappointing exit from Europe’s top club competition.
The French club, which is owned by Qatar Sports Investments, has already seen Lionel Messi leave for nothing in return, with the Argentine great making a stunning move to MLS team Inter Miami.
There is also uncertainty about the future of another PSG star in Brazil international Neymar.
