In a major update, journalist Abdellah Boulma is reporting that Kylian Mbappe has decided to leave PSG as a free agent at the end of the season amid links with Real Madrid.

Mbappe, 25, has been with PSG for almost seven years now, and has been courted by Los Blancos for almost the entirety of that tenure.

The French superstar was close to joining the Spaniards back in 2022 when his contract was expiring, but made a late U-turn and renewed with PSG.

However, now that his contract is set to run down again on June 30, speculations about a move to Real Madrid have been doing the rounds once again.

There had been reports earlier this month suggesting that Mbappe had already reached a pre-contract agreement with Real Madrid.

However, his entourage dismissed those claims and insisted that nothing was decided yet. It led to further rumours that Los Blancos could decide to look for other alternatives if he does not commit to a move in the summer.

But now, it appears that a free transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu could be on the cards.

As per the aforementioned report, Mbappe has decided to leave PSG, although he is yet to officially communicate his decision to the club.

Les Parisiens, who have been eager to renew his contract, are understood to have considered the club’s future with and without their superstar forward and are handling the situation calmly.

The report does add that Mbappe has not signed anything with Real Madrid yet even though he is eligible to do so having entered the final six months of his contract.

But it is claimed that the contacts between the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez have never ceased.

As such, Los Blancos are now waiting for the final green light from the player before they can tie up the deal.

Given the twists and turns that the Mbappe saga has seen in the past, though, one must take these reports with a pinch of salt and await more concrete developments.
