Kylian Mbappe 'considering whether to reveal desire to leave Paris Saint-Germain'

Kylian Mbappe is reportedly giving consideration to publicly reveal his desire to leave Paris Saint-Germain.

The forward has spent the last five weeks away from Parc des Princes, representing a France side which reached the World Cup final before losing on penalties to Argentina on Sunday.

Mbappe's hat-trick took him to eight goals for the tournament and the Golden Shoe, the 24-year-old showcasing his qualities up against PSG teammate Lionel Messi in Qatar.

Nevertheless, for a number of months, it has been speculated that Mbappe is now unhappy at PSG, despite only penning a new contract in the summer.

Reports have suggested that Mbappe has been left unhappy with the sporting project at the club and feels that he could be used in a more effective way in Christophe Galtier's side.

At a time when he has scored 19 goals in all competitions this season, Mbappe has always played down such reports, instead wanting to focus on his performances on the pitch.

However, according to Sport, Mbappe is determined to change clubs at the end of the season, two years before the end of his existing deal.

The report reiterates the previous reasons for Mbappe's alleged unhappiness, stating that the player feels that little effort has been made to accommodate his concerns.

Furthermore, it is claimed that Mbappe may take the approach of announcing his intention to leave PSG before the the conclusion of the current campaign.

With over half of the season remaining, that would be regarded as a bold move, yet it is claimed that Mbappe wants to ensure that there is genuine interest in his signature ahead of 2023-24.

Mbappe turned down the opportunity to sign for Real Madrid earlier this year and it appears doubtful that Los Blancos will return for the attacker.

Aware of his price-tag, Mbappe is reportedly prepared to accept a wage cut in order to facilitate an exit, a move which may lead to interest from the Premier League.

While Liverpool have been linked with Mbappe in the past, focus appears to be on trying to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham for a fee not too dissimilar to what a move for Mbappe would demand.

Manchester City are the most likely alternative with the Premier League champions potentially able to part ways with squad members in order to help fund a proposal which may tempt PSG into a sale.
