Football
Kylian Mbappe responded with a cheeky remark when questioned about the formal letter he had sent to Paris Saint-Germain regarding his future.
Throughout the week, Mbappe has been the centre of attention due to the uncertainty surrounding his continuation with the Ligue 1 giants.
According to Reuters, he made it clear to the club's hierarchy via a formal letter that he will not activate the one-year extension clause in his current contract, thereby potentially departing Paris for free in the summer of 2024.
This decision is believed to have frustrated the club. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old has maintained that he envisions his future with PSG in the near term, despite rumours suggesting a move to Real Madrid this summer.

“Honestly, I did not think I was going to offend anyone. I only sent a letter,” he began, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano. “I didn't know a letter could kill someone. It's just a letter. I don't care about the reactions.”
As Sports Brief reported, Mbappe's situation in France remains the headline news of the football week.
