The transfer window often throws up all manner of surprising potential moves and shock exits and yesterday’s Kylian Mbappe revelation has been the arguable major first of the summer. The Paris Saint-Germain talisman could be following Lionel Messi out the exit door.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Mbappe has informed PSG that he does not intend to extend his contract beyond the 2024 expiration date, despite having an option to take a further year in Paris. This means the French champions would lose their star for nothing next summer, but have given the forward the ultimatum to sign or be sold.
There are yet to be official links with any potential suitors although the most obvious candidate appears Real Madrid considering the exit of Karim Benzema. That said Los Blancos have agreed on a deal with Borussia Dortmund to sign Jude Bellingham in a move which could reach well beyond £100million.
