This outcome seemed inevitable, ever since the 25-year-old declined to extend his contract last year. Consequently, he will bid adieu to PSG as a free agent this summer. Now, the question arises regarding Kylian Mbappe’s next move. Currently, all indications point towards him finally joining Real Madrid after years of speculation.

However, there is also interest from Premier League side Liverpool, who sees the potential of the World Cup winner joining them, specifically if Mohamed Salah departs. Meanwhile, PSG is tasked with filling the shoes left by Kylian Mbappe–undoubtedly with no limited undertaking. Nevertheless, the Parisians are already planning and have identified two potential replacements.
