Kylian Mbappe has been sent a letter by PSG begging him to accept a transfer away from the club this summer.
Mbappe is presently in open dispute with the Ligue 1 champions, having refused the option on his contract to extend it to 2025. Consequently, his deal expires in 2024, at which point he will be able to leave on a free transfer.
PSG are desperate to avoid this eventuality but Mbappe has reaffirmed that he will not accept a transfer this summer – even to his dream destination of Real Madrid.

Indeed, Los Blancos will not send PSG a transfer proposal unless the striker changes his stance and publicly admits that he wants to leave.
The Ligue 1 side have now sent Mbappe a letter through the post detailing why they want him to leave now and explaining the collateral damage he could cause, not just to the club, but to certain employees, if he leaves on a free transfer.
L’Equipe states that the letter: “We would be faced with the need to transfer players, to review the policy for integrating young players trained at the club into the first team and most likely to have to initiate a wave of layoffs. It would call into question everything that has been built within the club.”

It appears that Les Parisiens are so desperate to sell, they would even offload the striker to Real Madrid, who they think the France superstar already has an agreement with.
PSG believe that Mbappe has publicly said on at least eight occasions that he would not leave the club on a free transfer and feel betrayed by the player, who himself feels let down by the Parc des Princes outfit over their failure to land promised transfer targets Robert Lewandowski and Bernardo Silva last summer.
Mbappe stance frustrating PSG
According to the paper, PSG officials cannot understand why Mbappe would not agree to extend his contract with the club that would allow him to leave next summer to Real Madrid.
Equally, though, the French champions do not want to make themselves look weak after giving Mbappe too much power with the two-year deal that they presented him with last summer.
Mbappe has yet to comment publicly on the situation but has been frozen out of PSG’s first-team activities and will not play in the opening Ligue 1 match of the season against Lorient – a fixture that Neymar may well also be absent from.
