Kylian Mbappe has been instructed by former Paris Saint-Germain sporting director that now is the time to leave the French club. A summer move for Mbappe looked like a wild suggestion until he communicated to PSG that he would not be signing the one-year extension in his contract which runs until 2024.
In the weeks following learning of his decision, PSG have set a firm stance that he will either sign a new deal to leave this summer. "My position is very clear and I will not repeat it every time," PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said in press conference earlier this month. "We want Kylian to stay, but if he wants to stay, we want him to sign a new contract.
"We don’t want to let the best player in the world go for free, it’s impossible. PSG is a French club, it’s his city, and he’s already said he doesn’t want to leave for free. If today someone made him change his mind, it’s not my fault. I’ll say it again, we won’t let one of the best players in the world go for free, that’s very clear. I will not repeat."
