Kylian Mbappe has addressed recent rumors regarding his future at Paris Saint-Germain, asserting that he has not requested to leave the club this summer. In a statement released on social media, the talented forward categorically denied reports linking him to Real Madrid, labeling them as “lies.” Mbappe emphasized his contentment at PSG and expressed his satisfaction with the French champions.
The commotion surrounding Mbappe’s future arose when it was revealed that he had sent a letter to PSG, notifying them that he would not be activating the clause in his current contract that would extend his stay until 2025. This decision implies that the player will become a free agent next summer.
In his statement provided to AFP, Mbappe stated that PSG had been aware of his intentions for nearly a year and clarified that the purpose of the letter was simply to formalize what had already been discussed verbally. He further affirmed that he has not engaged in any discussions with the club regarding a contract extension.
PSG, on the other hand, refuted Mbappe’s claim, stating that his representatives have indeed been involved in talks regarding a renewal. The club also alleged that the leaked letter was shared with the media prior to being received by them.
Mbappe expressed his disappointment over the public dissemination of the letter, asserting that its release was intended to tarnish his reputation and disrupt ongoing negotiations with the club. He and his team emphasized that the content of the letter had not been revisited until recently when they informed PSG about its impending transmission.
The situation has raised speculation about the possibility of PSG selling Mbappe during the current transfer window to avoid losing him for free next year. It should be noted that Mbappe turned down an approach from Real Madrid last summer to sign his current contract with PSG, which includes a player option for an additional year.
As the transfer saga unfolds, Mbappe remains focused on his commitments with PSG and is determined to continue delivering impressive performances on the pitch. The coming weeks will undoubtedly shed more light on the future of one of football’s brightest talents.
