While there had been reports of Kylian Mbappe moving away from PSG and switching to Real Madrid, it seems like the French superstar has decided to stay put in the French capital.

Despite managing to hold on to Mbappe for another season, PSG has a lot on their plate. With Kylian Mbappe’s contract expiring in the summer of 2024, the club needs to hurry if they want to keep a hold on their star player. As of now, the French World Cup winner has declined to sign any contract extensions, with plans of walking out of the club as a free agent in 2024.

Paris Saint Germain desperate to extend Mbappe’s contract

PSG drove a nail in their own coffin after they slapped a massive $270 million price tag on the player, throwing away any potential suitors. The club tried all tricks for the player to sign a new contract by keeping him away from the club but were forced to bring him back into the mix following a couple of poor outings.

Based on reports, PSG has tried to persuade Mbappe to sign a new contract with a guaranteed transfer clause, but as of now, the player has declined any negotiation. If Mbappe leaves as a free agent next summer, it could be a massive blow for PSG, who will see one of their most prized assets join a rival side without any transfer fee.
