Kylian Mbappe anticipates reaching a resolution regarding his future before the commencement of France’s Euro 2024 campaign this summer.
The 25-year-old has reportedly indicated his intention to depart Paris Saint-Germain upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the season, with Real Madrid widely tipped as his next destination, amidst reports of an already agreed-upon contract.
Despite persistent speculation, Mbappe has refrained from confirming any decisions publicly. However, he assured reporters at a press conference that fans can expect clarity before the Euros kick off.

“I haven’t made any announcements because there’s nothing to announce,” he stated. “I’ve always maintained that when I have news to share, I’ll do so directly. Since I haven’t done that, it means there’s nothing concrete to disclose.”
Pressed on the possibility of confirming his departure from PSG, Mbappe redirected the inquiry, suggesting, “Ask the source who provided you the information; they likely have the answers. If they confirmed it, then they must be aware. So, it’s best to inquire with them.”
Mbappe emphasized his focus on representing the French national team during the Euros, expressing confidence that his future would be clarified by then. However, his desire to participate in the Olympics further complicates matters, as clubs retain the authority to prevent players’ participation in non-FIFA-recognized tournaments.
Regarding his potential involvement in the Olympics, Mbappe explained, “My ambition has always been clear. I’ve expressed my desire to compete at the Paris Olympics, considering it a special opportunity. However, the final decision lies with PSG, as I’m still under contract. We haven’t discussed this matter yet.”
With the Paris Olympics scheduled to commence after Mbappe’s contract expiration with PSG, he acknowledged that his club situation wouldn’t necessarily hinder his Olympic aspirations.
Acknowledging the ongoing speculation surrounding his future, Mbappe affirmed his commitment to delivering strong performances on the pitch, emphasizing his unwavering focus amidst external distractions.
