Kylian Mbappe's desire to leave Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has been the subject of intense speculation and debate.

Several reasons have been cited for the young Frenchman's potential departure from the club. 

Firstly, it is believed that Mbappe is seeking a new challenge and a change of scenery to further his career development.

Additionally, reports suggest that the lack of consistent success in the UEFA Champions League has left Mbappe longing for a club that can provide him with greater opportunities to win the prestigious trophy, especially after losing the final to Bayern Munich in 2020.

Furthermore, personal ambitions and the desire to compete alongside other world-class talents have also been mentioned as factors driving Mbappe's desire to seek new horizons.

Ultimately, only time will reveal the true motivations behind Mbappe's potential move away from PSG.

Top PSG sources reveal that a deal to extend Mbappe’s contract at the capital was almost agreed upon before Karim Benzema moved to Saudi Arabia. 

The former Real Madrid striker moved to the oil-rich nation alongside Chelsea stalwart N’golo Kante, and that may be the catalyst for Mbappe to change his mind.

PSG chairman Al-Khalefi has clearly stated that Mbappe will not be allowed to leave on a free transfer, but whoever wants him this summer must pay a premium for him. 

Real Madrid is the likeliest destination, but should the takeover bid at Manchester United come to fruition, you won’t rule out the Red Devils.

- stand-off with PSG
- he is currently outside Liverpool's price plan
- similar with Arsenal and any bid totally unrealistic but Mbappe likes Arteta's evolutionhttps://t.co/0eDupbJJ2r
