  • The French star was widely expected to leave for Real Madrid in the summer of 2022
  • Mbappe has scored 35 goals in 38 games across all competitions for PSG this season

Paris Saint-Germain is set to face one of its toughest summers since the club was bought by Qatari Sports Investments in June 2011, following its not-too-successful 2022/23 campaign.

PSG is reportedly set to part ways with seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi at the end of the season after a fallout with the Argentine superstar, and Kylian Mbappe could be next to depart Parc des Princes.

Mbappe penned a three-year contract extension with PSG at the start of the season, but the France forward is said to be keen on quitting the club to join Real Madrid this summer.

Mbappe wanted at Manchester United

Meanwhile, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani will reportedly attempt to sign PSG star, Mbappe if he successfully completes a takeover of Manchester United, Sports Mole reports.

Sheikh Jassim is widely regarded as the favourite to buy the 20-time English League champions, with the Qatari banker seeking to acquire 100 percent ownership of the club.

He would almost certainly make significant transfer funds available if he were to complete a takeover from the Glazers, with Mbappe a top target for the club if he succeeds.

Mbappe slams PSG over image

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Mbappe being displeased with PSG over 'excessive use' of his image, following the club’s new campaign to promote ticket sales for the 2023/24 season.

The 24-year-old Frenchman has revealed he was not asked for his input before the Ligue 1 champions released a video to advertise the sale of next season's Ligue 1 tickets online.

Mbappe, who is the club’s top scorer this season with 31 goals and eight assists in 34 appearances, has since released a statement condemning PSG for overusing his apperance.
