According to media reports in France, Kylian Mbappe has decided that he will stay at Paris Saint-Germain beyond this summer, i.e. until the end of the 2023/24 season.

The 24-year-old striker has been the subject of the biggest transfer saga of the summer, with his current deal with PSG set to expire in June 2024.

Saudi Arabian Super League side Al Hilal launched a world record bid of €300 million for the forward, but Mbappe reportedly refused to speak to the club’s representatives.

Liverpool and Chelsea have also been linked with a loan move for the 24-year-old, but PSG believe Mbappe has already agreed terms to join Real Madrid from next season.

Liverpool’s interest was dismissed by manager Jurgen Klopp, who told a press conference that the Reds cannot afford Mbappe.

However, amid all the interest, Mbappe has reached what has been reported as a ‘final decision’ on his short-term future.

According to French newspaper Le Parisien, Mbappe has decided to stay at PSG and not move to any club during the current transfer window.

His decision has been described as ‘final’ – meaning it is now up to the French giants whether to integrate him into the team.

Media outlet RMC Sport have claimed that Mbappe has been training away from PSG’s first team as part of a group of ‘undesirables’ – players who have no future at the Parc des Princes.

But with one of the best players in the world now seemingly destined to be in their reserves, whether they like it or not, for next season, PSG and manager Luis Enrique may now have to turn to Mbappe before the start of the Ligue 1 season.

However, according to Le Parisien, Mbappe told club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi of his decision to stay until 2024 and was told his playing time would run out by the time he left.
