Kylian Mbappe has put PSG in a race against time. The star from France has one year left on his contract with the club and that’s why, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, sent a strong warning. “Our position is very clear. I’m not going to repeat it. If he wants to stay, he stays. But, he has to extend his contract. We can’t let him leave for free and that’s what he promised to the club.

Mbappe could have exercised a clause to remain with the team until 2025. That didn’t happen and, as a massive consequence, the player is just months away of being free.
