Kylian Mbappe and six other memorable transfer U-turns - and what happened next

Kylian Mbappe will be a Paris Saint-Germain player next season after making the stunning decision to stay at the Parc des Princes - and the France star is in good company having had a drastic change of heart.

The former Monaco forward was the subject of a big-money bid from Real Madrid in 2021 - one which PSG turned down - but had been expected to move to the Santiago Bernabeu on a free transfer with his contract expiring this summer. Instead, though, he agreed a three-year extension which will earn him huge money for staying with his hometown club.

Mbappe is far from the first footballer to make a U-turn on what could have been a huge move. Here, looks at some other notable examples from recent years while shedding light on what happened next for those who made a similar call in the past.

Back in 2018, after leading Atletico Madrid to Europa League glory, Griezmann was tipped to move to Barcelona. He prepared to announce his future plans in a Spanish TV show dubbed 'The Decision,' but the decision in question saw him stay in the capital instead of moving to Camp Nou.

"I have decided to stay," he said, before tweeting the message, "My fans, my home, my team". Within a few months, though, there were suggestions he regretted his decision after Atleti were eliminated from the Champions League by a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired Juventus and saw their La Liga title hopes evaporate.

Just one year after extending his stay, Griezmann moved to Barcelona for €120m (£102m). However, the Catalan club's financial issues saw him loaned back to his former side after just two years, with a permanent Atleti return expected to follow.

Not all U-turns involve a player staying put. Some, like the case of Robben, involve them leaving
