PSG star Kylian Mbappe has made it clear time and time again that he wants to leave the French capital. The youngster has now rejected multiple new contracts at the club to force a move to Real Madrid. While Paris has been reluctant to not sell their prized possession, PSG sporting director Leonardo has now opened the door ahead of the August 31st transfer deadline. Via RMC Sport:
“Kylian Mbappé wants to leave, that seems clear. If Real Madrid are making an offer, that seems clear… Me I am giving a position, that, I think, is clear for everyone. We cannot, the week before the end of the window, change our plans. If he wants to leave, we will not hold him back, but on our terms.”
Of course, it's hard to imagine Madrid putting together a €160 million deal for Mbappe within the next week, but PSG will let him leave if desired. However, Paris has made it clear they are expecting even more money for him.

On our terms is a hard thing to understand, though. The Ligue 1 giants could cash in big time if they sold him this summer because Mbappe would technically be a free agent in 2022 if he doesn't put pen to paper on a new contract.
It's interesting, to say the least, that Mbappe is at this point considering the club just had a historic transfer window, headlined by the signing of Lionel Messi. With him, Neymar, and Mbappe leading the line, Paris boasts one of the most prolific attacks in Europe.
Seemingly, PSG will be looking for even more cash in order to part ways with Kylian Mbappe. While it may seem unlikely that it will happen in the coming days, it's clear. The Frenchman wants out.
