The possibility of his departure this summer before his free transfer has surfaced!
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is in shock.
French international Kylian Mbappé has informed Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) that he will not exercise his contract extension option.
Mbappé joined PSG in 2018 and has continued his incredible run of success with 212 goals and 98 assists in 260 official games, winning five Ligue 1 titles, five times as top scorer, and also winning the World Cup for France. He has been one of the best players in the world, and has attracted a great deal of attention.
Last May, while his move to Real Madrid was considered definite, Mbappé extended his contract with PSG. Initially announced to run through 2025, it was later reported by several media outlets that it was a two-year contract through 2024 plus an option for a one-year extension.
On June 12, several media outlets, including France’s L’Equipe, simultaneously reported that Mbappé would not exercise his extension option, and on the afternoon of June 12, he sent a formal letter to the club.
The media described the decision as “a surprising development in a never-ending story,” and reported that the decision confirmed that he would be a free agent next June. Club officials were shocked by the decision, as they felt that contract negotiations had been going “positively. PSG is “fed up” with the situation and is prepared to play “hardball,” although they have not considered any release this summer.
PSG, for their part, have indicated that although Mbappé needed to extend his contract, if he does not exercise his option, they will have to release him this summer when they can get the transfer fee. The “L’Equipe” newspaper affirmed that “under no circumstances can Mbappé be allowed to leave on a free.” Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was also recently quoted as saying in response to a fan’s question, “The acquisition of Mbappé? Yes, but not this year. But not this year,” again drew attention, and the media outlet noted, “The president’s search for a striker may change his mind after tonight’s news.
The PSG owner is also reportedly perplexed by this development. If the reports are correct, the possibility of a transfer this summer will be greatly enhanced, so the future of the club is attracting more and more attention.
