Angry with Kylian Mbappé, who confirmed that he would not activate the option to extend for a year, Paris Saint-Germain nevertheless resumed contact with his striker’s entourage. But the two parties are unable to ease the tensions. Perhaps because the Frenchman has already planned everything to leave this summer.
It’s tense between Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappé! Monday afternoon, the capital club, confident in the idea of extending its striker, received a totally unexpected letter. The French officially confirmed to his management that he would not activate the option for an additional year. The top scorer in Ligue 1 therefore announced, indirectly, his desire to leave free in 2024. Enough to provoke the anger of his leaders! Cold, the latter still tried to ease tensions.

The daily Marca reveals discussions, especially on Tuesday evening, between President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and the player’s mother Fayza Lamari. Useless exchanges since the two parties have failed to make peace. Nothing has changed for Paris Saint-Germain who, without an extension from their vice-captain, will push them out this summer. The situation also remains unchanged on the side of Kylian Mbappé who reminded La Gazzetta dello Sport that he had not started negotiations for an extension, and that he had not requested a departure from Real Madrid this summer.
Mbappé preserves his image
Anyway, the international tricolor knows he is in a position of strength in this soap opera. Despite pressure from Paris Saint-Germain, the 24-year-old striker may very well decide to stay, knowing that a player of his caliber will never be closed, and go free next year. In the meantime, the Spanish press notes that Kylian Mbappé refuses to give the image of the player determined to leave. The former Monegasque seems rather to encourage his club to transfer him in a more or less subtle way.
