The former Real Madrid player joined the French giants in 2015, helping them win multiple titles including this season's Ligue 1.

He also helped the club reach the final of the 2020 UEFA Champions League, where they lost to German champions Bayern Munich.

Kylian Mbappe swerves Real Madrid to extend his contract at PSG

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Real Madrid's top transfer target Kylian Mbappé has decided against joining the reigning Spanish champions.

After months of speculations surrounding his future, the Frenchman has decided to extend his stay with Paris Saint-Germain as opposed to a move to the Spanish capital.

According to a report via transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano, Mbappé called Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez on Saturday afternoon to inform him about his decision to extend his stay with Paris Saint-Germain.

La Liga to report PSG

The Kylian Mbappe saga has taken another extraordinary twist as La Liga confirmed that they would report Paris Saint Germain to a number of authorities, including UEFA.

This is after PSG on Saturday, May 21 announced that they had beat Real Madrid to the signature of the talented 23-year old, who penned a three-year contract extension to stay at the French capital.

Prior to PSG’s announcement, La Liga has hinted of legal action by saying the body would not take the Mbappe issue lightly.
