Last year, the football world was stunned as Mbappe seemed destined to join his dream club, Real Madrid, only to change course and sign a two-year contract extension with PSG, keeping him at the Parc des Princes. However, recent reports revealed that Mbappe has informed the club of his decision not to extend his contract further, raising speculations about his future.
President Al-Khelaifi expressed his surprise and disappointment at Mbappe’s decision, vowing not to let the star forward leave on a free transfer next year. In an effort to resolve the situation, the PSG president has given Mbappe a two-week deadline to make a final decision regarding his future.

Despite choosing not to extend his contract yet, Mbappe has expressed his desire to stay in Paris for the 2023-24 season before making any major decisions. Nonetheless, the upcoming meeting with Al-Khelaifi holds immense significance as it could determine whether the French international stays at PSG or seeks a new adventure.
As the clock ticks, Real Madrid emerges as a potential destination if Mbappe and PSG decide to part ways this summer. However, financial considerations may pose challenges for the Spanish giants, who have already invested significantly in other signings.
The allure of the Premier League has also surfaced, with Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool monitoring the situation closely. While Arsenal and Liverpool are not actively pursuing a move for PSG’s No.7, Manchester United’s interest may intensify if a takeover by Qatari investor Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani materializes.
