PSG chief puts pressure on Kylian Mbappe with blunt contract demand: “It’s not my fault!”

Paris Saint-Germain President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has put the ball in Kylian Mbappe's court after insisting the club won't be letting their star striker walk away for free next summer.

Mbappe left PSG chiefs stunned in June when sent a letter to the club to inform them he would not be triggering a one-year extension in his contract. His current deal runs out in June 2024, meaning he would then be eligible to leave the Ligue 1 champions on a free transfer.

That scenario would represent a disastrous one for the Parisian giants, having signed him from Monaco in 2018 in a deal worth over £150million. As well as making the now 24-year-old the most expensive teenager of all time, they have also forked out extortionate wages and bonuses to the French international in a bid to keep him at the club.
