The undebatable importance of Mbappe to the reformed project of PSG comes amid the player's reluctance to sign a new contract.

The latest report regarding the forward's contract situation from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano states that the 24-year-old could join Spanish giants Real Madrid in the summer of 2024.

Mbappe equals Ronaldo, Messi’s record

In a previous report, Sports Brief stated that Kylian Mbappe has joined an exclusive list with his brace against Ligue 1 contenders OGC Nice.

Mbappe maintained an active involvement in scoring or assisting in goals for PSG over 15 consecutive matches, a feat reported by SportBible. This achievement places Mbappe in the company of players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
