MBAPPE TO LEAVE PARIS SAINT GERMAIN THIS SUMMER – Kylian Mbappe to leave PSG on a free transfer
Kylian Mbappe will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer. Mbappe, out of contract in the summer, communicated his decision to Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the PSG president, on Tuesday.
PSG expect Mbappe to join Real Madrid at the end of the season once the terms of his exit are finalised. The two parties still need to negotiate whether Mbappe will leave for a fee or sacrifice his own earnings.
PSG have Mbappe’s word that he will never leave on a free transfer.
Real Madrid hold a long-term interest in the 25-year-old forward, who would have to take a pay cut to join the Spanish side, even though they are prepared to make him the highest-paid player in their history. PSG turned down a €220m offer for Mbappe from Real Madrid in August 2021. The forward then chose to sign a new three-year deal with PSG that expires this summer.
