Mbappe says PSG knew about his intentions since last summer

PSG forward Kylian Mbappe cleared up the situation of his refusal to extend his contract with the French champions beyond June 2024.

On Monday it became known to the public that he will stay under contract with PSG until the end of next season and won’t execute his option to go with the club until 2025.

“PSG has been informed since July 15, 2022, of my decision not to extend beyond 2024, and the letter that was sent only served to confirm what I had already told them.”

This means that PSG has to sell him this summer or January 2024 at the latest if they want to get a transfer fee for their big star. Today Mbappe published a statement through AFP:

“I have never discussed any contract renewal with PSG. The board has been informed since July 15th, 2022 of my decision not to extend beyond 2024 — and the letter sent was only meant to confirm what I already told them”, he says.

His most probable next destination will be Real Madrid, who were very close to sign him last year as a free agent, but he refused at the last minute.
