Kylian Mbappe breaks silence over Real Madrid transfer as Chelsea links emerge for PSG star

Kylian Mbappe has hit back at suggestions that he wants to leave Paris-Saint Germain this summer after it emerged that he had refused to trigger an extra one-year extension of his contract. It was revealed on Monday night when reports of Mbappe's letter to PSG broke that the 24-year-old had told PSG he wouldn't be taking up the option to prolong his commitment to the club past 2024.

Last summer Mbappe signed a two-year deal with an option for a third but it was announced publicly as a straight three-year deal until 2025. It was then down to him to trigger the further 12 months by the end of June. His letter to the club informing them of the decision was leaked.

With PSG keen to recoup some of the £154m they splashed on him when making his loan from Monaco permanent in 2018, it has now been reported that French champions are ready to sell him in order to stop a free transfer next summer.
