Kylian Mbappe 'reiterates to PSG that he will not sign new contract'
The 24-year-old has been at the centre of a protracted transfer saga for a couple of years now, having rejected interest from Real Madrid to extend his stay at PSG last year.
However, Mbappe's future was in the limelight once again this summer after it emerged that he had sent a letter to PSG informing them that he would not be triggering the 12-month option in his contract.
Mbappe's renewal in 2022 was a two-year extension with a possible third, meaning that the France international will be able to walk out of the door for nothing at the end of the season as things stand.
PSG's attempts to offload Mbappe during the summer window were unsuccessful, despite a world-record bid from Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal, whom the striker had no interest in talking to.
Mbappe was initially exiled from the first-team squad and made to train with an out-of-favour troupe, but following constructive talks with the hierarchy, he has been reintegrated into the setup.
There has even been rumours of a potential PSG contract extension with a release clause, which would allow the former Monaco man to complete a drama-free transfer to Real Madrid in 2024.
However, 90Min claims that Mbappe is standing firm in his position that he will not put pen to paper on a new deal with the Ligue 1 champions, even though he has affirmed on multiple occasions that he wants to see out the season at the Parc des Princes.
The report adds that talk of a renewal with that aforementioned clause is wide of the mark, although he has agreed to forgo a loyalty bonus he is owed worth approximately €80m (£68.7m).
