French star Kylian Mbappe told Paris Saint-Germain on Monday he would not be taking up an option to extend his contract by one year beyond 2024, a source close to the negotiations said. That opens the door to the 24-year-old's possible exit from Parc de Princes during this summer's transfer window, the source added, confirming a report in French sports daily L'Equipe. Mbappe's confirmation by letter comes a little over a year since he snubbed Real Madrid by signing a surprise extension to his contract to remain at the French champions.
