Kylian Mbappé has no plans to end the saga regarding his future this summer transfer window. The 24-year-old’s contract expires in 2024 after opting not to trigger the option to extend his current deal until 2025.
AS’ Andrés Onrubia reports has reportedly not wavered in his commitment to stay at 2024. Despite ongoing speculation linking the Frenchman to Real Madrid, it doesn’t seem he’s too eager to push for a move this summer.
The final deadline for his decision falls on July 31st. It’s the day he is set to receive €40 million out of his €80 million loyalty bonus. Mbappé’s plan to see out his contract raises the possibility of a free transfer next summer. As a result, it could leave PSG without any transfer fee.
As one of the most valuable assets in world football, the French club could not secure a transfer fee if the player were to leave as a free agent. This scenario poses a significant financial challenge for PSG, as they risk losing Mbappé without compensation.
In a recent report, The Athletic revealed the financial catastrophe it would be for PSG should the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner leave as a free agent. There would need to be a departure of players considering the club cannot account for an incoming sum.
