Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé will decide his club future in the next few weeks, sources told ESPN, with Real Madrid and Liverpool the most likely destinations should he opt to leave the French capital.
The France international’s contract at PSG expires in June and will not trigger his option for a one-year extension, meaning he is free to speak to other clubs about a summer move under the Bosman ruling.

Long-standing admirers Madrid remain the leading contenders for his signature. The club have tried several times to sign him since he was 11 years old, coming closest in May 2022 when they were convinced he had agreed to join before he decided to stay in Paris.
Despite reports in France on Monday that Mbappé has agreed to join Madrid, ESPN sources did not say an agreement has been found, and that there remains contact between the two parties.
Sources have told ESPN that Mbappé has long been an admirer of Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp, and the 25-year-old forward has not ruled out a move to the Premier League. However, a move to Liverpool could prove difficult, with the club unlikely to be able to afford his current wage of around €650,000 per week ($712,000).
