Sergio Ramos looks on his way out of PSG as he is already into the final months of his contract while Persnel Kimpembe has struggled with injuries this season for the French club.

PSG enters the race to buy national stadium

Meanwhile, the reigning French champion Paris Saint-Germain declared its interest in purchasing the Stade de France, the centerpiece of the 2016 Summer Olympics, France24 reports.

The announcement by PSG comes after a previously unsuccessful attempt by the club's Qatari owners to purchase its nearly 50-year-old home, Parc des Princes, in order to enlarge the stadium.

The 81,500-seater Stade de France is the largest Stadium in France and is up for sale after the French government issued a call for bids in an effort to find a buyer for around €600million.

PSG set Kylian Mbappe deadline

Earlier, Sports Brief reported 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.

PSG now wants Mbappe to clarify his stance on his future at the club by May as they want to know if he is staying or leaving at the end of the season.
