PSG‘s Kylian Mbappe is on the brink of signing a contract extension with the club until 2026, signaling a shift from his previous stance of leaving on a free transfer next year, reported by goal.com. The French superstar's potential new contract is expected to include a unique provision: a private release clause that could pave the way for a future move to Real Madrid.

Tuttomercatoweb reports that negotiations for the contract extension have been facilitated by PSG's sporting director Luis Campos. After initial disagreements that led to Mbappe's exclusion from the first team, the player has since reconciled with the club and made a strong return with three goals in two Ligue 1 appearances. This change in dynamics has played a role in Mbappe's decision to reconsider his future at PSG.

The inclusion of a private release clause in the new contract is of particular significance. This clause would reportedly allow Mbappe to explore the possibility of joining Real Madrid next summer, should the opportunity arise. It appears that both PSG and Mbappe are seeking a balance between securing his immediate future with the club and maintaining flexibility for a potential move to a different club, especially one as prestigious as Real Madrid.

The negotiations and potential contract extension hold considerable importance for both Kylian Mbappe and PSG. The agreement seems to reflect a mutual understanding and desire to continue their partnership while acknowledging the player's aspirations for the future. Mbappe is set to showcase his talents once again when PSG takes on Lyon in a Ligue 1 encounter on Sunday evening.
