The striker has a contract in France until June 30 and must make a decision.
One of the most important topics in soccer this year is the future of Kylian Mbappé. He must make a decision about his professional career, as in less than six months his contract with Paris Saint-Germain will expire and he will become a free agent. With this scenario, his options are to activate the automatic extension clause until 2025, negotiate a new contract with PSG or leave for another club.
The latter seems to be the most tempting. Despite the fact that the French side can offer him an amount of money that most European clubs cannot compete with, at this point in his professional career ‘Kiki’ seems more interested in sporting challenges than in his bank account. And both Liverpool and Real Madrid, the favorites to sign him, can offer him tempting targets: the Premier League or La Liga and, above all, the Champions League.
However, he has assured on several occasions that he has not yet made a decision and that, as soon as he does, he will announce it publicly to put an end once and for all to the rumors and speculation. But now, during an interview with GQ magazine, he revealed unexpected details about his future and said: “At some point it will be my turn to leave”. That sentence caused concern to PSG fans, who are afraid of losing their biggest star.
Actually, Kylian was not talking specifically about his current situation on the French side, but about a phenomenon that is happening lately, with stars like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo choosing to continue their careers in non-traditional leagues like Major League Soccer and Saudi Arabia’s Pro League.
What will he do?
On these changes in world soccer, Mbappé opined: “Many great players who have shaped the history of football have left Europe this summer and we are entering a new era,” and then added: “It’s become part of the cycle of this sport. I’m not worried about these changes. I’m simply thinking about continuing my career and following my own path”. He turned down offers from Al-Hilal last summer, but perhaps in the future he will change his mind and follow the path of CR7 and Neymar, for example.
