Kylian Mbappé has stunned Paris Saint-Germain by presenting a formal letter to the club’s hierarchy, informing them of his decision not to take up the option of a one-year contract extension next summer.

Unless Mbappé is convinced to either reverse his decision or negotiate a completely new deal, the striker’s contract will expire in June 2024, when the 24-year-old would be able to leave PSG on a free transfer. The club hierarchy are said to have taken the news in the letter badly, having previously thought that talks over a contract renewal were progressing well.
