The Kylian Mbappé transfer saga continues to take its twists and turns with every passing hour. The latest information reveals that the 24-year-old has no intention of leaving Paris Saint-Germain.
Le Parisien reported on Wednesday that the Frenchman is defiant against recent warnings from Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. The capital club wants to sell the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner this summer to ensure he doesn’t leave on a free transfer.
Mbappé’s position remains steadfast: He wants to stay at PSG and considers it his “only option for the moment,” with no intentions of extending his contract.
This stance is expected to hold until at least July 17, which marks his return date. The 24-year-old French forward continues to be linked with a potential move to Real Madrid.
While the rumors linking Mbappé to Real Madrid persist, the Frenchman seems to want total control of his future. As a result, becoming a free agent next summer gives him exactly that.
Real Madrid has long been touted as a potential destination for Mbappé. The allure of playing for one of the most prestigious clubs in world football undoubtedly holds great appeal for the forward.
However, for now, Mbappé is likely biding his time and keeping his options open, which is what comes with free agency.
