Kylian Mbappe ‘asks to leave PSG amid Real Madrid transfer interest’ with contract running out next summer
KYLIAN MBAPPE has asked Paris Saint-Germain chiefs to let him leave with Real Madrid on the prowl, according to reports.
The superstar France international, 22, is out of contract next summer and has shown no intention of putting pen to paper on a new deal.
PSG have revealed they don’t want to lose Mbappe on a free but are also refusing to entertain offers as this stands.
But now Mbappe has told the Ligue 1 giants he wants to QUIT, according to RMC Sport – with the player’s admission music to Real Madrid‘s ears.
RMC Sport journalist Daniel Riolo revealed: “I know that Mbappe asked to leave.
“It is complicated because first you have to find a club that has the money to pay him.
“But the news is that he really does not want to stay – the player does not believe in Leonardo’s project.
“If he does not leave this summer, it will be for free next season – and in Doha [PSG’s owners] they do not want to hear about it.
“If Mbappe expresses this desire to leave, it means that he will have to find a club and that PSG will need to look for a replacement.
“But yes, the news is that Mbappe does not want to stay at PSG.”

Florentino Perez and Co had hoped to sign Mbappe this summer, before adding Erling Haaland in the summer of 2022.
It’s believed the Borussia Dortmund ace has a clause in his contract allowing him to head to the Bernabeu for just £63m next year.
And Madrid’s plan was to partner him with Mbappe by swooping for the wantaway PSG star THIS summer as part of their new-look Galacticos.
Liverpool have also been linked with a move for Mbappe, with the player full of respect for Jurgen Klopp.
But Real Madrid are firmly in pole position and the 2018 World Cup winner’s latest admission will give them hope.
