Mbappe never discussed extending his contract with Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe indicated in a statement to Agence France-Presse that he had never discussed extending his contract with the French club beyond 2024, the day after he informed his officials of his intention not to activate the option to extend for an additional year.

According to the statement sent by the French international, he informed the “club administration in charge of extending the contract,” which was signed a year ago, as of “July 15, 2022, of its decision (not to extend beyond 2024) and that the goal of the last message was only to confirm what was previously clarified verbally.” .

The statement added, “Kylian Mbappe and those close to him say that they never discussed this point again with the club during the year, except 15 days before announcing the sending of the letter. On the other hand, no new possible extension was discussed.”

Mbappe and his entourage explained that, “Having already confirmed in recent weeks that he will be in Paris next season, Kylian Mbappe did not ask to leave this summer, but only assured the club not to activate his additional year.”

Finally, the statement added that the player and his entourage “regret that receipt of this letter was leaked to the media and that these exchanges were made public with the sole purpose of damaging their image and to conduct discussions smoothly with the club.”
