Kylian Mbappe hits out at PSG, confirms exit desire
Kylian Mbappe has hit out at PSG, as the French superstar confirmed he told Les Parisiens he wanted to leave this summer.
Mbappe, 22, has less than 12 months left on his contract with Paris Saint-germain and the French giants turned down a huge $186 million bid from Real Madrid late in the summer window.
Speaking to French outlet RMC Sport as he prepares to play for France in their UEFA National League semifinal against Belgium this week, Kylian Mbappe didn’t mince his words.
What did Mbappe say?
“I wanted the club to have a fee for a quality replacement,” Mbappe said. “My position was clear, I said that I wanted to leave.
“I did not appreciate the fact that they said I came [with the news he wanted to leave] in the last week of August. I said at the end of July that I wanted to go.
“I said it early enough so that the club could react. I wanted everyone to come out of this stronger, that we leave hand in hand.”
Mbappe added that he is happy to remain at PSG, for now, but he is free to talk to non-french clubs in January about a free transfer from July 1, 2022.
Where will he go?
With Neymar and Lionel Messi alongside him up front for PSG, there is no doubt Mbappe is part of the greatest attacking trio in the game right now.
Aside from Neymar, Luis Suarez and Messi at Barcelona a few years ago, it may be one of the very best of all time.
But Mbappe has always stated he wants to go to Real Madrid and given their awful financial situation, it is quite clear what is happening here.
Mbappe will wait until January to sign a pre-contract agreement with Real and agree to leave PSG in July for nothing.
