Reports: Kylian Mbappé tells PSG he intends to leave, putting soccer's most valuable star on the market

Kylian Mbappé has reportedly told Paris Saint-Germain that he intends to leave the club when his contract expires next June — a bombshell decision that could lead PSG to sell Mbappé for a gargantuan fee this summer.

Mbappé has one season remaining on that lucrative contract, plus an option to extend it through 2024-25. But according to multiple reports, he and his representatives sent a Monday letter to PSG informing executives that he will not be exercising that option.

And so PSG, the French superclub that planned to build around Mbappé, its 24-year-old Parisian star, suddenly finds itself staring down the transfer market's most devilish decision.
