Twist in Kylian Mbappe's Contract Saga as French Star Reportedly Rejects Another Offer from PSG
"Kylian always promised that he would never leave the club for free. That's what he's always told us," Leonardo said. "We have no plans to talk to Real Madrid again. The deadline is August 31 at midnight. That's how the transfer window is, but we are clear about this: we want to keep him and extend his deal."
He added that he will not let Mbappe go “for less than what we paid for him, when we still owe Monaco money," with the media outlet pointing out that PSG signed Mbappe from Monaco back in 2018 in a €180 million deal “after a season-long loan,” and have only paid €145 million so far.
