Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol discuessed Kylian Mbappe, who has said he has not asked to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer and that the letter he sent to the club was leaked with the aim of "damaging his image".
The forward has also taken to Twitter to brand reports that he wants to join Real Madrid this summer as "lies", adding he is "very happy" with the French champions.
On Monday it emerged that Mbappe had written to PSG to tell them he would not be triggering the clause in his current deal that would see it extended until the summer of 2025, meaning he is set to become a free agent next summer.

to the first transfer Saga of the summer
killing mbappe insists he's happy to
stay at PSG next season that though has
left the club facing the real
possibility of losing one of the world's
best for absolutely nothing in 12 months
time while the development comes after a
bombshell article on Monday which
reported that mbappe handed PSG a letter
stating he'll not activate an option to
extend his deal well and bappy who
released a statement to the news agency
AFP today says PSG have known his
decision for nearly a year adding that
the only aim of the letter was to
confirm what had already been spoken
about previously well the striker who
trained with France today before their
European qualifiers also said he has
never discussed extending his contract
with the club Beyond next year
which means it's time to bring in the
chief Carvey solicola Chief reporter
right we've been here before
who wins this one look as far as uh PSG
are concerned they feel totally
blindsided by what has happened in the
past 24 hours they say they've been
speaking to clean and Bape about him
signing a new contract at PSG and the
talks had been going well they felt that
the talks were positive and it actually
he was going to sign a new deal
now what Ken mbappe is saying is I've
sent this letter to PSG saying I'm not
going to extend my contract uh past next
summer next summer I want to leave for
nothing psu's position is that is not
going to happen we will not let you
leave for nothing we will not let that
happen you will have to leave this
summer we will sell you because we think
we can get up to something like 200
million pounds for you now
Entourage have been very active today
they released a statement saying we
don't know what PSG are talking about we
told them a year ago that we weren't
going to extend we told them two weeks
ago that we were going to send them this
letter and there'd be no talks
whatsoever about a new contract and also
there was a article today in Le
Parisienne newspaper saying that mbappe
actually wants to go to Real Madrid this
summer and beppe himself quoted that
article and said this is a lie I'm very
happy at PSG now he may be happy at PSG
but PSG are not happy with him and they
will not let him run down his contract
next summer so what PSG have to do is
either get him to sign a new contract
or get him to change his mind and extend
his current contract or he will be sold
well sell him okay lots of clubs might
want him but who can afford him
well the numbers you're talking about
are so big that there are very very few
clubs who can afford to sign him
I'm not sure there are actually any
clubs who can afford to sign him we know
Real Madrid want to sign him uh Kareem
Benzema has left that has opened the
door there's a possibility of him going
there but they're really strict
Financial fair play rules in Spain I'm
not sure Real Madrid can afford to sign
him and pay him especially after they've
signed Jude Bellingham then you're
thinking about Premier League clubs
Chelsea have got the money but they've
spent a lot of money I can't see that
happening Manchester United what's going
on with the Takeover situation I think
could be very difficult for them to sign
him Manchester City have been interested
in the striker yeah they've been
interested in him in the past but they
don't need that and they don't need the
circus that comes with killing them back
pay as well so I still think there's a
good chance that something will be
sorted out this is like the fourth
transfer window where we've had this
soap opera and it always ends with him
staying at PSG but I've got to be honest
with you people at PSG are getting sick
and tired of this they really thought
that they've seen the back of uh this
soap opera but just at the start of the
transfer window yet again it's all
started
