Will Kylian Mbappe leave PSG in 2023?

According to recent rumours, Real Madrid and Manchester United were deeply interested in signing Kylian Mbappe after it was reported that he sent an official letter to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday stating that he will not renew his contract with PSG in 2024, which caused a lot of controversy in the football world as if that was possible, the club would lose the star for free in 2024, and in order to make some profit, they would have to sell him in the current transfer window.

Is Kylian Mbappe decision to stay with PSG a huge loss for Real Madrid and Manchester United?

Kylian Mbappe has recently stated that he will be staying with PSG next season, and this could be a heartbreaking point for Real Madrid and Manchester United, as these clubs are eager to rebuild their attack and are one of the clubs that can afford Kylian Mbappe, as reports state that the French club wants at least €200 million for the World Cup winner. Mbappe is considered one of the best players in the world, and his presence would undoubtedly strengthen Real Madrid and Manchester United's attacks.

However, his expensive price tag and his decision to stay with PSG mean that these clubs will have to look elsewhere for a top-level player to bolster their attack. Karim Benzema recently left Real Madrid after 14 years to join Al Ittihad for a huge salary, Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio have also left the team, so the Spanish giants are looking for a versatile forward like the French star. On the other hand, Manchester United are willing to fix their attack after Weighrost's loan ends and Anthony Martial is reported to leave the club this season, as Erik Tean Hag wants to re-build the legacy of the English club, which recently lost the FA Cup final to Manchester City. Them failing to sign a big star like him can be a huge loss as they need a star player like him that can take the responsibilty to show up during major times like Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy did during their time at the respective clubs.
