Kylian Mbappe will reportedly only stay at Paris Saint-Germain until 2025 if the club agrees to sell a certain player.
Neymar Reveals Who He Feels Should Have Finished Higher In Ballon D'Or Ranking
The 23-year-old has come under fire in recent weeks as questions over his attitude continue be asked following reports suggesting he told the club he wants to leave as soon as possible, just five months after extending his contract in Paris.
Mbappe's decision to commit to a new deal in May came as a big surprise given it was a self-confessed dream of his play for Real Madrid, with many believing he was swayed to remain in France due to certain promises he was made.
According to several reports across Europe, the forward was told the club would sign a world-class striker so he would not have to be utilised as a central striker ahead of Neymar and Lionel Messi, while he was also ensured that the Brazilian would be sold.
Mbappe's relationship with Neymar has deteriorated in recent seasons, with things coming to a head during a Ligue 1 match earlier this season over a penalty dispute that led to the Selecao talisman taking his frustrations with his teammate to social media.
In a recent interview, the France international denied that he had requested that Neymar be sold in the upcoming January transfer window, a narrative that is in line with remarks that have come from those who work for the French giants.
El Pais, however, claims there is truth to the rumours that Mbappe is far from satisfied at the French league champions, and that he has made it clear to the board he will only fulfil his contract, which reportedly expires in 2025, if Neymar leaves.
The Brazil international joined PSG in the same window as Mbappe did in 2017, enjoying a fruitful on- and off-field relationship with the young sensation until matters turned sour.
