Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and French national team star Kylian Mbappe recently made headlines with his statement regarding his future in football. The talented forward took to the media to clarify his position, clearing rumors that he had requested a move to Real Madrid or had intentions to leave PSG before his contract expires.
Mbappe’s comments came in response to growing speculation surrounding his future and a letter he reportedly sent to PSG, indicating that he would not be triggering the option to extend his contract beyond its current expiration date in June 2024. The letter sparked speculation about a potential transfer, with many linking him to Real Madrid, one of Europe’s most prestigious clubs.
In his statement, Mbappe emphasized that he did not explicitly ask to join Real Madrid or expressed a desire to depart from PSG. Instead, he clarified that he had merely informed the club about his decision not to activate the contract extension option, which had been agreed upon during his initial signing in 2017.
The superstar further said on his intentions, expressing gratitude towards PSG for the wonderful experiences and opportunities they provided him during his tenure. Mbappe acknowledged that he is currently focused on performing for the French national team in major tournaments like the upcoming FIFA World Cup, rather than engaging in transfer speculation.
