Coming back to soccer, Mbappe is strongly rumored to leave PSG and join La Liga giants Real Madrid. This isn’t the first time he has been linked with the Spanish side. However, speculations regarding his transfer are seemingly growing. Apparently, Mbappe has caused a stir by refusing to sign a contract extension with PSG and communicating his decision via letter.

This puts the Ligue 1 giants at risk of losing him without receiving a transfer fee, as his current contract expires in June 2024. It even led French President Emmanuel Macron to get involved in their ongoing drama. The situation has prompted PSG to consider selling him this summer, with Real Madrid emerging as the leading contender in the pursuit.
