Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has released a statement on his future, while a report claims he wants a transfer to Real Madrid now.
See below for Mbappe’s quotes from Fabrizio Romano, with the France international saying he’s simply reiterated what he’s already told PSG in the past about his plans for beyond 2024, while a report from Le Parisien claims he’s keen on a move to Real Madrid straight away…
?? Kylian Mbappé statement to AFP.
“I have NEVER discussed any contract renewal with PSG”.
“The board has been informed since July 15th, 2022 of my decision not to extend beyond 2024 — and the letter sent was only meant to confirm what I already told them”. pic.twitter.com/ggaO5ZPfqm

Mbappe would undoubtedly be a dream signing for Real Madrid, where he could be the perfect long-term replacement for departing club legend Karim Benzema.
The 24-year-old is one of the very finest players in the world and there’ll surely be a host of suitors in for him if PSG do end up selling him this summer.
The Times have mentioned Chelsea as registering an interest in Mbappe, though one imagines they’ll struggle to lure such a big name without being in Europe next season.
All in all, this is a huge blow for PSG after their previous efforts to keep Mbappe from leaving, and it also follows the departure of Lionel Messi on a free transfer.
