Kylian Mbappé’s future at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has taken a significant turn as the French superstar has reportedly informed the club of his decision not to trigger the option to extend his current contract until 2025.
This means that his current deal with PSG would expire in June 2024, leading to intense speculation about his next move. The decision by Mbappé has put PSG in a challenging position, with the club expressing their determination not to lose the prized forward on a free transfer.
Recognizing the potential consequences, PSG officials are now faced with two options: either convince the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner to sign a new deal or explore the possibility of selling him this summer.
The news was shared by renowned football journalist, Fabrizio Romano, on his Twitter account.
