Kylian Mbappe transfer bombshell as PSG set to see Real Madrid come knocking again

13.09.2022 - 12:17 dailyrecord.co.uk

Superstar Kylian Mbappe is in line for a fresh transfer drama with Real Madrid after it was revealed his bumper Paris Saint-Germain contract only runs until 2024.

It was understood the France international's £42.5million-per-season contract was for three years but now L'Equipe claim that isn't the case.

Instead, it is only for two years. And further mystery has been added as they state only Mbappe himself can activate the final year to remain at the Parc Des Princes.

He was expected to join Los Blancos during the summer but the forward performed a last-gasp U-turn to leave Florentino Perez and Carlo Ancelotti wanting.

Kylian Mbappe came off the bench to score the winning goal as Paris Saint-Germain defeated Nice 2-1 on Saturday to reclaim top spot in Ligue 1. French international Mbappe was left out of the starting line-up by coach Christophe Galtier with one eye on Wednesday's Champions League clash at Benfica. That is one of 11 fixtures the French champions face in the six weeks leading up to the World Cup. Mbappe was replaced by 20-year-old Hugo Ekitike, who was making his first start for PSG but struggled to make an impact.

The 23-year-old said he was asked "to do different things" for France, where he played alongside Olivier Giroud in the absence of Karim Benzema, than with PSG.
