Kylian Mbappe will not be changing his mind about quitting PSG at the end of the season and, according to Marca, is still set to sign for Real Madrid on a Bosman Transfer.
Mbappe’s contract at PSG expires in June and he has repeatedly rejected offers of an extension.

The World Cup hero was involved in the biggest transfer saga of last summer as he attempted to push through a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid.
In the end the transfer didn’t go through but it has for some months now been accepted that Mbappe will move to the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season on a Bosman.
Indeed, it was reported on January Deadline Day last week that Mbappe had penned an agreement on a six-year contract with Madrid that will see the PSG superstar earn a mouth-watering €50 million-a-year in the Spanish capital.
However, over the past week or so, new reports emerged that claimed that PSG were making one last-ditch bid to persuade Mbappe to stay and were ready to make him the richest footballer in the world.
But Marca have poured cold water on these claims and say that nothing will change Mbappe’s mind and he will indeed be signing for Madrid.
Confirmation of the move is expected after PSG and Madrid’s Champions League last-16 tie is over. PSG lead 1-0 from the first leg after a 90th minute goal from Mbappe.
Mbappe signed for PSG from Monaco in a €180m deal in 2017, joining the same summer as Neymar, who transferred for a world record €222m.
He has won three Ligue 1 titles during his time at the club, as well as the World Cup for the France national team.
