Mbappé’s current contract expires at the end of the 2023-24 season, and he has been linked with a move to Real Madrid. PSG are eager to keep Mbappé, but they are also aware that they could lose him for free next summer if they do not extend his contract.
The offer that PSG made to Mbappé would have seen him sign a new three-year deal with the club, with a clause inserted that would have allowed him to leave for free next summer. However, Mbappé has declined the offer and has also declined the opportunity to discuss it any further.
This is a major blow for PSG, who were hoping to tie Mbappé down to a long-term contract. It is now unclear what the future holds for the 24-year-old, but it seems increasingly likely that he will leave PSG at the end of the season.
What does this mean for Mbappé’s future?
Mbappé’s decision to reject PSG’s contract extension offer means that he is now free to negotiate with other clubs. Real Madrid are the most likely destination for the French striker, and they are expected to make a formal offer for him in the coming weeks.
It is also possible that Mbappé could stay at PSG for another season. The club are still hopeful that they can convince him to sign a new contract, and they may be willing to offer him a more lucrative deal.
However, it seems increasingly likely that Mbappé will leave PSG at the end of the season. He has made it clear that he wants to play for Real Madrid, and it would be a surprise if he turned down the opportunity to join the Spanish giants.
What does this mean for PSG?
Mbappé’s departure would be a major blow for PSG. He is one of the best players in the world, and he has been a key part of the club’s success in recent years.
PSG will need to find a replacement for Mbappé if he leaves, and it will not be easy. The French striker is a rare talent, and there are not many players who can match his ability.
PSG will also need to address the issue of their wage bill. Mbappé is one of the highest-paid players in the world, and his departure will free up some space in the club’s budget.
However, PSG will still need to spend big if they want to replace Mbappé. They will need to find a player who can score goals and make a difference in big games.
It will be interesting to see what happens next for Mbappé and PSG.
