Kylian Mbappe Fires Back At PSG With Official Statement On Future

Kylian Mbappe has released an official statement on his Paris Saint-Germain future via the AFP.

L’Equipe reported on Monday evening that Mbappe sent an official letter to his club informing them of his intention not to renew his contract which was extended last year but will expire in June 2024.

In reply, the Qatari-owned outfit then delivered an ultimatum to the 24-year-old demanding that he should agree fresh terms or be sold this summer.

Early on Tuesday afternoon in Europe, Mbappe released an official statement on the matter through the AFP where he said that he and the club have “never discussed” a renewal.

“The board has been informed since July 15, 2022 of my decision not to extend beyond 2024, and the letter sent was only meant to confirm what I already told them,” the Ballon d’Or hopeful explained.

Spanish outlets such as AS report that the divorce between PSG and their star player is now “total”, and Mbappe could be sold in the coming months before the close of the upcoming summer transfer window.
