  • Paris Saint-Germain want superstar forward Kylian Mbappe to clarify his stance on his future with the club
  • Mbappe still has two years left on his current PSG contract but has been a long-term target for Real Madrid
  • The 24-year-old forward snubbed a move to Real Madrid last summer despite having a verbal agreement with them

The future of Kylian Mbappe continues to be concern for Paris Saint-Germain especially after the French giants were knocked out of the Champions League.

The 24-year-old forward only recently penned a two-year contract extension with an option for another year with PSG but that has not prevented Real Madrid being on his trail.

When Mbappe's contract with the Parisians expired last summer, it was widely believed that he would sign with Los Blancos on a free transfer.

Now with PSG getting knocked out of the Champions League, Mbappe has been urged by many to leave the Parisians this time around and pitch tent with Real Madrid in the summer.

Real Madrid ready for Mbappe to force PSG exit

Meanwhile, Real Madrid had previously vowed not to pursue Kylian Mbappe this summer from Paris Saint-Germain, but they may now be persuaded to launch a new pursuit, Eurosport reports.

The Spanish giants have made it known to the 24-year-old forward he would be responsible for pushing through a transfer and convincing PSG that his time at the club was up.

Mbappe does not seem willing to exercise the clause that will see him extend his PSG contract until 2025 and would instead push for a move away from Paris in the summer.

Mbappe’s entourage called Real Madrid

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Kylian Mbappe is apparently regretting his decision to extend his deal with Paris Saint-Germain, just a few months after signing a three-year contraction extension with the Ligue 1 champions.

The 24-year-old forward made a U-turn on joining Real Madrid last summer despite having a verbal agreement to join the Spanish giants before the start of the 2022/23 season.

Mbappe’s entourage called Real Madrid at the end of the last summer, admitting the forward regrets his decision to extend his contract with PSG.
