French striker Kylian Mbappe is reportedly interested to leave Paris Saint Germain in the coming days. The player is anticipated to make a move to his childhood dream club Real Madrid. But the move now seems to be a bit difficult.
According to Ben Jacobs of the CaughtOffside Substack, PSG would require at least $175 million to part ways with Mbappe this summer. His current contract with Paris Saint Germain will come to an end in the Summer of 2024.
Earlier this year Mbappe informed the club about his decision to leave PSG at the end of the 2024/25 season when his current contract is set to be over. His contract had a renewal clause that could have been triggered only by the player’s side but he didn’t wanna exercise it and so it expired on August 1, 2023.
Paris Saint Germain’s management isn’t very happy with Mbappe’s decision to leave the club. They also feel it was unnecessary for him to be making his decisions public. PSG has now given him two choices. The player either has to sign a new long-term contract or they would sell him this summer as they can’t let him go for nothing next season.

The player received a huge contract from a Saudi Arabian club but rejected it as Mbappe insisted he wanted to play in Europe.
Kylian Mbappe’s records at Paris Saint Germain
The Former Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe has been a very important part of the club over the years. So much so that he was speculated to move to Real Madrid last season. Real Madrid reportedly sent a formal bid but it wasn’t accepted as Mbappe was offered a much more lucrative offer.
In the past five years, Mbappe has won a total of 13 trophies with Paris Saint Germain. He has also become Player of the Year. Mbappe has made his place in the top 10 highest goal scorers of the company.
With Lionel Messi already gone to Inter Miami from Paris Saint Germain, the club was previously forced to hand him a notice period to keep the relationship intact. It is to be seen if Mbappe offers his excellent goal-scoring services.
