Kylian Mbappé has confirmed that he will not be activating a player option in his current PSG contract when the deal expires next summer, setting off another furious transfer saga for the French superstar.
On Monday, news broke of a letter that Mbappé had sent to the club affirming a decision that would effectively make the 24-year-old available on a free transfer next summer if he doesn’t sign a new contract with PSG or the club doesn’t sell him this year. According to ESPN, Real Madrid is reportedly preparing a bid to sign Mbappé this summer with PSG ready to listen to offers of €150 million ($161.5 million).
Mbappe released a statement to AFP on Tuesday saying that the letter was just written confirmation after already informing PSG of his decision last summer when he opted not to pursue a move to Real Madrid and signed the two-year deal to stay in Paris.
