PSG Still Disappointed With Mbappe's Decision
Despite the player's assurance that he does not plan to leave the French capital this summer, the club was still disappointed that Mbappe will not activate his option to play for PSG in the 2024-25 season.
This means that Mbappe will become a free agent in June 2024.
PSG is reportedly keen on selling the French superstar for a windfall this summer rather than to lose him for nothing next year, according to Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Club chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is said to be very disappointed with the situation.
PSG moved mountains last year to convince Mbappe to sign a contract extension. The saga ended with the club handing him a signing bonus of more than $100 million, making him the world's highest-paid footballer with an annual salary of $77 million to sway him against moving to Real Madrid.
Although the PSG press release stated that Mbappe's extension was for three years, it seems that the contract's base was only for two years, with an option for a third.
