RMC Sport published the whole letter the French champion sent to their forward regarding the drama around his contract

French media RMC Sport published the whole letter that PSG sent to their forward Kylian Mbappe, informing him that he needs to either renew his contract or agree to a transfer this summer in order not to damage the club.

The French champions are obviously disappointed by Mbappe’s actions, deciding not to renew with the club, but at the same time stay until his contract expiring date on June 2024 in order to go to Real Madrid as a free agent.

Here is the whole letter PSG sent to Mbappe:

“First of all, it is essential to remember that the spirit that dictated our discussions in the spring of 2022 was always to see you continue with Paris Saint-Germain – a family that has done the impossible for your career for so many years while allowing us, when agreed with you, to respond favorably to a transfer request.”

“This spirit was found in all our discussions, which are continually carried out in the benevolence that we maintain within our Club. It is moreover in this spirit that you appeared on May 21, 2022 at the Parc des Princes to announce your collaboration with a “2025” flocked jersey, which was very clear to all our fans and the world football community.”

“You will therefore understand that your letter – apparently signed a few weeks after your extension announcement and its global impact (and well before the end of the summer transfer window 2022) and its “leak” (one year later) concomitant with its reception did not fail to cause us enormous damage, going contrary to the spirit of our discussions and moreover announcing to the market that you would be free on June 30, 2024, thus aggravating the damage caused to the club.”

“PSG recalls that given its investments in the world of football, Mbappé’s future can only be a transfer this summer or an extension beyond June 30, 2024, “which was clearly established between us. That’s how all the great players, like you, left their clubs, leaving a lasting legacy and, in turn, helping the club that has helped you – and supported your family – since you were a teenager.”

“The club also wants to justify itself on the famous failed transfer window last summer, pointing to the French and European “regulatory constraints” and recognizes that the “very ambitious” recruitment envisaged could only be “partially achieved”. “Conditions completely beyond our control but despite which we have tried to meet your demands (unlike what we would have for any other player), without being fatal to the club.”
