Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé is now eligible to enter discussions for pre-contract agreements with other clubs as he enters the final six months of his current contract.
The 25-year-old's decision not to activate a one-year extension in his contract, inked in May 2022, positions him to negotiate a potential move away from PSG in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Despite PSG's attempts to retain Mbappé, such as excluding him from their pre-season tour to attract transfer interest, the Frenchman has remained firm in his decision not to extend his contract.
Reports suggest PSG accepted a world-record bid from Al-Hilal, but Mbappé turned down the move.
While Mbappé can now engage with other clubs for a potential free transfer, PSG expresses optimism about his future with the club. Sources indicate that his willingness to forgo substantial loyalty bonuses and his positive rapport with the new management team contribute to PSG's hopes for a contract renewal.
It is also reported that Mbappé is satisfied with recent changes at PSG, including significant alterations in the squad and the club's management structure.
