The summer transfer window is about to start, and the transfer saga is already in full swing! We have breaking news today about France and PSG star Kylian Mbappe. There is a high chance that Kylian Mbappe will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer transfer window. Let's look at the details.

Mbappe sent a message to PSG

On Monday, Kylian Mbappe sent a letter to PSG saying that he would not activate his one-year contract extension. What does it really mean? Kylian Mbappe has always been a top target for Real Madrid. Last year, Mbappe was really close to joining the Spanish giant Real Madrid. But Paris Sait-Germain tried so hard and made him convinced to stay in the Capital of France. However, Kylian Mbappe agreed to renew his contract and entered the field with the jersey written 2025. But it was never a concrete three years deal! Mbappe agreed to sign for two years with an option to extend for one more year. The extension is on the player's hands. On Monday, Kylian Mbappe sent a letter saying he would not trigger the one-year contract extension. As a result, Kylian Mbappe will be a free agent when his contract of two years expires in June 2024. So if Mbappe doesn't trigger the extension, he can sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside France.

PSG's Position Regarding Mbappe's Future

It has been a very dramatic year for Paris Saint-Germain. Ex-Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos has already left the club, while PSG bid farewell to the World Cup winner Lionel Messi as well. Brazil superstar Neymar Jr is also expecting to leave PSG this summer. But the club was relaxed about Kylian Mbappe. However, Mbappe's decision was very expected for the France Capital Club. They have been very shocked by the decision of Mbappe. In the ceremony of the UNFP Trophies, which took place on May 28, Kylian Mbappe talked about his future. He said, “I have my contract, I'm very happy, I said I'll be there next year and I hope we'll have a great year." However, everything changed now after the letter from Mbappe. PSG are very shocked, but they remained strict. PSG give Mbappe only two options, renew the contract or sell him this summer. PSG do not want to let him leave for free. Therefore, the club will look for potential buyers in this upcoming transfer window.

What's next for Mbappe?

As PSG will try to sell him, many clubs will enter the race to sign him. Of course, Real Madrid are one of the strongest candidates to sign him. But other clubs are interested in Mbappe. Last year, Mbappe revealed that he had proposals from English clubs. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is a fan of Mbappe. But it would be really difficult for Klopp to bring Mbappe to Liverpool as they are out of the UEFA Champions League. The next few days will be very important to know the next destination of Kylian Mbappe.
