Kylian Mbappé's current deal with PSG expires at the end of June (2022) and if he fails to renew with the Ligue 1 giants, then the club would be forced to try and secure a sale rather than let the player leave on a free. Today's post game declarations was the first time the 22-year-old has publicly spoken about his contractual situation since PSG sporting director Leonardo commenced the negotiation process with the player's representatives last week. The next weeks and indeed months will be key in resolving one of football's long standing sources of speculation with the player heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid for some time now.
