“I Have Never Discussed Any Contract Renewal”: Kylian Mbappe Breaks Silence Amid PSG Exit Talks

• Paris Saint-Germain could sell Kylian Mbappe this summer
• Mbappe's current deal expires at the end of next season
• His move comes a little over a year since he snubbed Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe has clarified the uncertainty surrounding his future following news of his decision to tell Paris Saint-Germain that he will not be taking up an option to extend his contract until 2025.

Mbappe's current contract with the Ligue 1 champions is set to expire at the conclusion of the season, with a potential extension for an additional year.

However, the Frenchman communicated to PSG via a letter that he unequivocally rejects the prospect of activating the contract's extension clause for an additional year, regardless of the circumstances.

As reported by GOAL, Les Parisiens are contemplating placing the 24-year-old on the transfer market, as the Paris-based club are not prepared to lose their record goal-scorer for free when his current deal runs out.

However, in an effort to provide clarity, Mbappe has come forward to share his perspective on the matter of his contract renewal.

“I have never discussed a renewal with PSG,” he told AFP, as quoted by PSG Report.

“The management of the club in charge has been informed since July 15, 2022, of my decision not to extend beyond 2024, and the letter sent was only intended to confirm what had already been clarified orally beforehand.”

The 2018 World Cup winner's choice not to extend his contract delivers another setback to the French champions, compounding the recent departure of Lionel Messi, who chose not to renew his contract and instead join MLS club Inter Miami.

PSG chief, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is understandably infuriated with the constant flirting between Real Madrid and Mbappe, as has been a constant theme in recent years.

As such, the Spanish publication claims PSG will consider selling their star to any club except the La Liga giants.
