While fans around the world are celebrating a new year, the clock has started to tick for PSG. The French champions have failed to get Kylian Mbappe to extend his contract with the side so far this season, making him open to negotiating a pre-season contract with other teams. With a list of potential suitors, it seems like the Frenchman has already set a deadline for himself to decide his future for the upcoming seasons.
Mbappe’s contract with the side ends in June 2024, which will allow him to walk out as a free agent. Multiple teams across Europe are keen to acquire his signatures, with Real Madrid emerging as the front-runners in the race. However, Los Blancos has set a deadline for the player with the Spanish side not interested in waiting too long to get a confirmation from the Frenchman.
