Kylian Mbappe has told PSG he will not take up the option of a one-year extension in his contract.
Mbappe last renewed with PSG in May last year. The contract of the French player is valid until June 2024, with the option to extend for another year.
In the past time, PSG has negotiated to convince Mbappe to extend to June 2025. However, the Paris team’s efforts were unsuccessful.
According to L’Equipe, Mbappe has just sent a letter to refuse an offer to renew his contract. The response of the 24-year-old striker made the PSG board very surprised and angry.
Not only disgruntled and surprised by Mbappe’s refusal to extend his offer, Les Parisiens was also angry because information about negotiations with the French player was leaked.
Because Mbappe did not agree to sign a new contract, PSG faced two difficult choices. Firstly, they must sell the former Monaco striker this summer to avoid the risk of losing everything. Second, Les Parisiens will keep Mbappe and let the 24-year-old leave on a free basis in the summer of 2024.
According to transfer news tycoon Fabrizio Romano, there is no way PSG will lose Mbappe. Therefore, if Mbappe does not sign a new contract, Les Parisiens may sell the French player at the 2023 summer market.
If Mbappe leaves, PSG’s plan to build a team around the French player will fall apart. Before that, Les Parisiens also failed in the project of building a team with Neymar as the center.
Although the Qatari owners spend mercilessly, recruiting big names like Neymar, Mbappe, Messi and Ramos, they have not yet raised the level of PSG. Les Parisiens still failed in the number one goal: to win the Champions League.
