Kylian Mbappe might leave Paris Saint Germain this season. The French World Cup winner has his heart set on a move to Real Madrid, and PSG’s sporting director, Leonardo, confirmed the same. However, the move seems highly complicated.
Football journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on an interview that Leonardo gave, talking about Mbappe’s future. Leonardo revealed that PSG would let Mbappe go to Madrid if and only if their demands are met. Moreover, PSG’s owners, the Qatari royal family, are not happy with Mbappe’s actions.

“If you agree to the specified price, contact us. Or complete the season with the golfer,” the member tweeted. He took a shot at Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale, who is infamous for playing a lot of golf in his spare time. However, this warning on its own doesn’t feel like it will change Mbappe’s mind.
Additionally, Mbappe is yet to agree to PSG’s newest contract offer, which would see him become one of the richest athletes in the world. Leonardo also revealed that Mbappe had promised not to leave PSG for free, but that could be a huge possibility now. The 22-year-old only has one year remaining on his contract.

While the French club has always had a scary attack, they switched their transfer strategy up this season and now have a well-rounded squad.
