Kylan Mbappe’s time with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) might finally get a resolution in February, ending years of speculation about his future, sources say.
Having joined PSG from Monaco in 2017, Mbappe has been linked to various exits from the Parisian club, with Real Madrid consistently showing interest. Despite multiple contract renewals with PSG, his current deal is set to expire this summer, with an option for an extension.
Reports suggest that Mbappe will disclose his decision to PSG soon, presenting two choices: extend his contract with PSG, earning around £60m per year, or leave this summer for a potentially lower wage, with Real Madrid being the likely destination.
While PSG is keen on keeping Mbappe, doubts arise about whether staying with the club aligns with his career goals. Despite being a star at PSG and securing trophies annually, the allure of winning the Champions League, especially with Real Madrid, may influence Mbappe’s decision.
Recent reports indicate that Real Madrid’s pursuit of Mbappe has diminished due to emerging talents like Jude Bellingham and the consistent performance of Vinicius Jnr. A cryptic message from Real Madrid suggests they won’t wait indefinitely: ‘There are trains that only pass once in a lifetime.’
