Reports from European media suggest that PSG is willing to sell Mbappe before the start of the 2023/24 season. These speculations were fueled by Mbappe’s recent comments to France Football, in which he expressed dissatisfaction with the internal divisions within the team: “I think playing for PSG doesn’t help much because it’s a team full of divisions. Of course, there’s always gossip, but it doesn’t bother me because I know what I’m doing and I like it. Come on,” Mbappe stated on July 8.

Mbappe’s contract with PSG is set to expire in the summer of 2024. His intention is to fulfill the remaining year of his contract and then decline the option to renew, allowing him to leave the club as a free agent. However, PSG is prepared to sell Mbappe this summer in order to prevent losing him for free next year.
