Kylian Mbappe is reportedly considering buying himself out of his Paris Saint-Germain contract.

Mbappe, who signed a three-year mega contract extension with Les Parisiens, wants to leave the club when the transfer window opens in January.

The 23-year-old is unhappy and feels betrayed by the top hierarchy of the French giants over unfulfilled promises made to him prior to inking his contract extension.

There have also been claims that Mbappe has become an unpopular figure behind the scenes, too, with the 2018 World Cup winner reportedly having just four allies left in the PSG dressing room.

Another report also indicates a smear campaign launched by PSG in 2019 against Mbappe, which, if proven, could give the player the ground to terminate his contract.

The aforementioned factors have played a pivotal role in convincing the Frenchman to consider elsewhere, just five months after extending his stay with Les Parisiens, Express reports.

Real Madrid appears to be Kylian's preferred destination, despite breaching a reported verbal agreement with the Spanish giants, whom he snubbed in favour of a contract extension at PSG.

Amid the hullabaloo about Mbappe's future, the former Monaco prodigy has been in blistering form this term, scoring 12 goals in 13 outings across all competitions.

Vital promises broken by PSG

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe was reportedly promised that Robert Lewandowski will join him at Parc des Princes during his contract renewal negotiations.

Mbappe signed a mega 3-year deal with the French champions this summer, snubbing an initial verbal agreement with Real Madrid for a potential deal.

It emerged that the 23-year-old's new deal included special player perks and he was able to have a say in sporting matters.
