  • Kylian Mbappe's current deal expires in 2024, and he has expressed no intentions of extending it
  • PSG is ready to offload him now rather than risk losing him on a free transfer
  • Real Madrid has shown interest, but they are currently discouraged by the exorbitant asking price

Paris Saint-Germain has made the decision to list Kylian Mbappe for transfer.

The France captain has been excluded from the squad set to travel to Japan and South Korea, departing this Saturday.

According to Sky Sports, PSG have made it clear that they only desire players on the tour who are fully dedicated to the club and genuinely wish to remain a part of it.

The Ligue 1 giants firmly hold the belief that no individual player holds greater significance than the collective entity of the club itself.

Goal has also reported that PSG firmly believes Mbappe has already reached an agreement to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer.

This decision is perceived as a significant betrayal, especially considering Mbappe's previous statement that he would never depart without a transfer fee.

When training resumed this month, the club sought clarification from the player, but no communication has been received from Mbappe regarding his intentions.
