PSG have no plans of letting Mbappe leave 

According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, despite long-standing interest from Real Madrid, PSG have deemed the star forward, “non-transferable” and will not be listening to any offers whatsoever. 

This is not a surprising stance considering his importance not just to the club but to the country as a whole. 

Regardless of PSG's somewhat stuttering season, Mbappe has remained pivotal as the club pushes for another Ligue 1 title, netting 31 goals in all competitions this season.

The 24-year-old France forward will enter the final season of his contract in the French capital next season, with both parties having the option to extend by a further year.

More on Mbappe

Meanwhile, Mbappe has been rumoured to be unhappy with the PSG decision-makers, believing he featured too prominently in their season ticket promotional videos.

He took to the social media platform Instagram to show his disapproval of PSG’s decision to use an interview he did with the club’s media team as a promotional piece for their ticket advertisements.

The Parisians have endured a disappointing season, crashing out of the Champions League at the round-of-16 stage, and being knocked out of the Coupe de France by Marseille in February.
