Kylian Mbappe leaving PSG: Real Madrid, Liverpool, Arsenal in race as free transfer exit confirmed, per reports

Kylian Mbappe has informed Paris Saint-Germain that he intends to part ways with the club at the end of this season when his contract expires, according to widespread reports on February 15.

The precise terms of his departure are yet to be finalised and The Athletic reported that an official announcement is expected once negotiations are concluded in the coming months.

The Athletic also claimed that Mbappe is inclined towards a move to Real Madrid. However, key figures within his inner circle remain uncertain about the terms offered by the Spanish club, leading to a delay in the decision-making process.

With his PSG contract expiring on June 30, Mbappe is permitted to hold discussions with other clubs as he has entered the final six months of his agreement with the French champions. Liverpool and Arsenal have also been linked with an offer for the player, who is likely to become one of the most sought-after free agents in modern football history.

The Sporting News takes a look at his options and where he could land in the 2024 summer transfer window.

It was reported by various European outlets and transfer experts on February 15, 2024 that Mbappe has told Paris Saint-Germain he intends to leave the club at the end of the season.

Despite signing a new two-year contract in the summer of 2021, which included a 12-month extension option for the 2024-25 season, Mbappe holds the sole authority to trigger this extension, not PSG.
