Kylian Mbappe’s contract at the Parc des Princes runs until the summer of 2022 and the France international has so far refused to sign an extension to his current deal; the 22-year-old has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu throughout the summer
The France World Cup winner, 22, joined PSG from fellow Ligue 1 club Monaco for £166m in 2017 and is out of contract next summer.
“The offer is considered to be a far cry from what Kylian is worth today. We also owe part of this money to Monaco and we consider that the bid is not sufficient.”
Mbappe has won three Ligue 1 titles and three French Cups at the Parc des Princes.
“The offer is considered to be a far cry from what Kylian is worth today. We also owe part of this money to Monaco and we consider that the bid is not sufficient.”
Mbappe, who has started all three of his side’s Ligue 1 games this season – scoring in a 4-2 win against Brest on Friday – has also promised PSG he will not leave for free, according to Leonardo.
“Kylian wants to leave, it seems clear to me. If Real Madrid makes an offer, it seems clear to me… I am taking a position which I think is clear to everyone. If he wants to leave, we are not going to hold him back, but it will be on our terms,” the former PSG midfielder said.
“Kylian always promised that he would never leave the club for free. That’s what he’s always told us.
“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. But we’re not going to let him go for less than what we paid for him, when we still owe Monaco money.”
PSG signed Argentina forward Lionel Messi earlier this month after he left Barcelona. Leonardo says the club has tried to prove to Mbappe that he is central to the club’s vision but not “above the project” with their offer of a new contract.
