The 24-year-old’s current contract has one year remaining to run, but he also has the option to sign a one-year extension, which can only be exercised by the player himself. However, the Frenchman has stated that he does not intend to stay at the Parc des Princes past the end of the current academic year.
According to rumors, PSG wants to sell Mbappe this summer if he doesn’t sign a contract extension since they don’t want to lose him for nothing at the end of the current campaign.
The Frenchman’s most likely destination, should he decide to quit the Ligue 1 giants, has been suggested as Real Madrid. But according to the El Pas story, if Sheikh Jassim, the president of Qatar Islamic Bank (QIA), were to buy Manchester United, Mbappe would be sold to the Red Devils by PSG’s Qatari owners.
The forward found the concept “interesting,” according to the source, and PSG has allegedly been plotting to arrange Mbappe’s transfer to Manchester United since February. If they decide to make a move this summer, there is a chance that Erik ten Hag will be able to arrange a deal for the 24-year-old.
Mbappe joining Man Utd
Since the tail end of last year, United’s acquisition process has dragged on, and it’s unclear whether the Glazers will ultimately decide to sell the team to Sheikh Jassim.
Man Utd has prioritised bolstering their offensive unit this summer and has been connected with many candidates in recent months. But if they can convince Mbappe to join them at Old Trafford, it would be a major accomplishment.
The PSG star, who Transfermarkt estimates to be worth roughly £154 million, is presently ranked with Erling Braut Haaland as one of the top players in the world. Football fans would salivate at the idea of watching Mbappe and Haaland’s duel in the Premier League if the Frenchman moved to Old Trafford.
It will be intriguing to see if Man Utd can acquire Mbappe during the forthcoming transfer window if Sheikh Jassim were to acquire them in the upcoming weeks.
