Kylian Mbappe is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain in summer 2021 andjoinLa Liga side Real Madrid. Several reports from Spain claim thatReal Madrid aredetermined to hiretheFrenchmannext summer after not signing anyone during thesummer transfer window.

PSG want to keep Mbappe, but on the other hand, it is clear to them that it will be impossible if he does not want to sign a new contract.El Chiriguito saysthat Ligue 1 championshave already chosen his replacement.

The 21-year-old opted to stayat PSG this summer, but at the same time, he seems to havemade it clear that he has no intention of signing a new contract with the Paris side. The problem for the French champion is that theprolific goalscorer has a contractuntil June 2022, which means that if he does notsign a new deal, he will have to be sold next summer.
