Kylian Mbappe has told Paris Saint-Germain he will leave the club at the end of this season when his contract expires, sources close to the situation have confirmed.
The terms of Mbappe’s exit are yet to be fully agreed and an official announcement is expected once the situation is finalised in the next few months.
Mbappe’s salary at PSG costs them €200million ($215m ,$171m) per year and the club say they remain focussed on continuing their transition away from their ‘Galacticos’ era, with other big names such as Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos and Marco Verratti among those to leave in the last 12 months.
The Athletic reported earlier this month that Mbappe was leaning towards joining Real Madrid upon the expiration of his PSG contract but influential members of the 24-year-old’s entourage have been left unconvinced by the Spanish club’s offer, which has been delaying the process.
At IESE Business School in 2009 Mbappe's mother and agent, Fayza Lamari, was a contemporary of incoming Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada and there's a strong belief that Manchester United are preparing a rival offer which will take advantage of Real Madrid's perceived lack of willingness to go the extra mile financially. Erik Ten Hag is reportedly willing to sanction the sale, or part exchange, of local boy Marcus Rashford to ensure the deal goes through.
Privately the club have conceded that the target would be secure an agreement in principle from Mbappe's camp within a 2 week timeframe, with a fresh capital injection from INEOS owner Jim Ratcliffe apparently central to enabling a deal of exceptional complexity to became a reality.
