Kylian Mbappe is considering leaving Paris Saint-Germain
According to numerous European sources, Kylian Mbappé is ready to quit Paris Saint-Germain in January due to his dissatisfaction with the club’s present path.
Mbappé’s relationship with the club has fallen down, as initially reported by unsourced French newspapers RMC and Le Parisien and then verified by ESPN’s Julien Laurens.
This 23-year-old superstar signed a new contract with PSG after a yearlong transfer drama in which he was the target of intense interest from Real Madrid but ultimately rejected the offer.
Laurens claims that Mbappé is dissatisfied because the club’s leadership, particularly sporting director Lus Campos, president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, and manager Christophe Galtier, have failed to deliver on commitments they made to the player.
According to Laurens, the club promised Mbappé a true No. 9 and said they will sign another center back during the upcoming transfer window.
Campos said on Tuesday before PSG’s Champions League match against Benfica, “Kylian never told me about that. I deny this information.”

Galtier gave hints on Monday that Mbappé was unhappy at PSG, where he has occasionally butted heads with fellow superstar Neymar.
“I am trying to reassure him by finding different options,” Galtier said. “I don’t know what the club told him before I arrived in the summer, but we are very sensitive as to how he feels and what he says because he is a very important player for the team.”
Among the highest-paid athletes in the world, Mbappé just surpassed teammate Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on a Forbes list, with the French star earning an estimated $128 million between his contract and sponsorships in 2019.
According to Fabrizio Romano, who has knowledge of the transfer market, Mbappé cannot leave PSG until the club agrees to sell him.
