Kylian Mbappé told AFP on Tuesday June 13 that he had never discussed a contract extension with his club beyond 2024, the day after sending a letter announcing to his leaders his intention not to not activate an option for an additional year.
“The management of the club in charge of its extension“, signed a year ago, was informed as soon as “July 15, 2022 of its decision (not to go beyond 2024) and the letter had the sole purpose of confirming what had already been clarified orally beforehand“, according to the text transmitted by the player of the Blues. In this press release, the native of Bondy also specifies that he and his entourage claim”never having discussed this point again with the club during the year, except 15 days ago to announce the sending of the mail. No possible new extension has, moreover, been mentioned.
The document also wishes to recall that it has “already publicly stated in recent weeks that he will be Parisian next season” and “Kylian Mbappé did not ask for his departure this summer but just confirmed to the club the non-activation of his additional year“. Moreover, the captain of the France team and his entourage are also unhappy with the dissemination of information relating to his letter to the club. They “regret that the receipt of this letter was broadcast to the media and that these exchanges were made public for the sole purpose of damaging their image and the smooth running of discussions with the club“.
