So the club will effectively need to sell their top player this summer or else the 24-year-old could potentially leave on a free transfer next year.
As per the report, PSG would not allow Mbappe to leave as a free agent, thus raising the possibility of an transfer battle between clubs in this season.
However, PSG’s other option, is to convince Mbappe to say and to sign him to a lucrative contract extension.
Mbappe had until July 31 to trigger a one-year extension to his contract. He has been at the club since 2017 after signing from Monaco in a transfer worth a reported $190 million.
The potential departure of Mbappe would be the greatest loss to PSG, given that he is a national icon and widely considered one of the few players capable of taking over from Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as soccer’s biggest star.
