Kylian Mbappe has effectively confirmed his intention to leave PSG on a free transfer next summer, creating a stand-off with the club by insisting he wants to see out the one year left on his deal.
The French superstar had earlier put the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United on alert after a bombshell statement to AFP about his intention not to sign a new deal –Â and he is adamant he will stay in Paris this summer.
The 24-year-old moved to make his immediate plans clear, writing on Twitter in response to a post by La Parisien that claimed he wants to join Real.
He posted: ‘LIES… At the same time, the bigger it is, the more it passes. I have already said that I will continue next season at PSG where I am very happy.’
The move will heap pressure on PSG, who are determined not to lose their top asset for nothing and must face up to that prospect if they do not sell him this summer.
Mbappe earlier claimed Paris Saint-Germain have known for almost a year that he had no intention of extending his deal at the club.
The 24-year-old forward stunned the footballing world on Monday when he informed the club via a letter to say he did not want to exercise the extension clause which would see him contracted until June 2025.
