According to Diario Sport, as reported by Football Espana, PSG are planning on giving Mbappe a one-year deal, which will expire in 2025. However, the France captain can leave in 2024 for a fee.
Moreover, the French champions will look to sell Mbappe in January if he declines to sign the deal. The 24-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, but a deal did not materialize.
