Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe has set tongues wagging once more on Friday, in refusing to commit his immediate future to the French champions.
For those not aware, this comes amid fresh speculation pointing towards a potential summer exit for the prolific attacker.
On the back of widespread confirmation that Mbappe has informed the powers that be at the Parc des Princes of his decision not to extend his current terms, an immediate sale is now, for the first time, seemingly being taken into consideration.
This comes ahead of the expiration of his contract in just 12 months’ time.
Real Madrid, long-term suitors, are therefore understood to be readying a fresh proposal to bring the 24-year-old to Spain’s capital.
🚨 Real Madrid have already agreed personal terms on a contract with Kylian Mbappé for when he joins:

Speaking to the media on Friday, the subject of his future, in turn, was inevitably put to Mbappe himself once more.
Instead, Mbappe assured that, at present, ‘all I care about’ is enjoying his vacation time in Cameroon:
