They have made it clear to the 24-year-old attacker that he will be sold this summer - and may not play again for the club - unless he renews his contract that expires a year from now.
But PSG are not the only club who are determined to get Mbappe’s future sorted.
If Mbappe leaves this summer - with Real Madrid hot favourites for his signature - then PSG are expected to sign Dusan Vlahovic for a fee of €70-90m to replace him.

How Mbappe affects Lukaku
The Bianconeri already have a deal worth around €40m lined up for Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku but can’t sign him until they get the money for Vlahovic.
Chelsea themselves are desperate to sell Lukaku so that they can balance their books after their world record spend last season - and also to help fund a move to sign a striker themselves. They are in talks for France wonderkid Elye Wahi from Montpellier.

Real Madrid are not the only big club who are in the race to sign Mbappe this summer.
Manchester United, Tottenham and even Chelsea themselves have been linked, although any move from these three clubs appears unlikely.
There is also reportedly a monster offer on the table from Saudi Arabia with Al-Hilal ready to put together a €400m package for player and club.
