Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has provided an ultimatum to Kylian Mbappé to end the transfer saga.
Al-Khelaifi, in an interview with the French newspaper Le Parisien, urges the French forward to decide on his future within the next week or a maximum of two weeks.
The club chief stated that if Mbappé is unwilling to sign a new contract with PSG, they will consider a potential exit. A possible departure opens the door for a move amidst persistent interest from Real Madrid.
“Mbappé must decide next week, or maximum in 2 weeks,” Al-Khelaifi told the French media outlet. “And if he doesn’t want to sign a new contract, the door is open. […] No one is bigger than the club, no player, not even me.”

Al-Khelaifi’s comments highlight the growing urgency surrounding Mbappé’s contractual situation. With only one year remaining on his current contract, PSG is eager to secure a fee and not let the Frenchman leave as a free agent.
Real Madrid have made no secret of their desire to bring the French superstar to the Santiago Bernabeu. Should Mbappé opt against signing a new deal with PSG, the Spanish giants could potentially move to secure his services.
