PSG though are fuming at this development, and say if Mbappe does not renew his deal now, he will be sold this summer.

Real Madrid has always appeared to be Mbappe’s likely destination, but they are sitting still and making no moves at all, with president Florentino Perez happy to wait to get Mbappe for free next year.
PSG’s response – according to The Sun – is to whip up a huge transfer auction with the bidders coming from the Premier League.
On Tuesday there were rumours of a Liverpool bid (and Mbappe ‘approval’) while Man Utd are also waiting in the wings. The club’s potential new owner Sheikh Jassim of Qatar is ‘tempted’ by Mbappe and has already held talks about a theoretical Old Trafford move.
The fee – of course – for Mbappe would be enormous, with PSG looking for a minimum of £250m for their prize asset. Wow…
