Still heavily linked with Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe has now reportedly made another major call on his future with Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite talks of a potential contract renewal in Paris, the 24-year-old has once again decided that he will not extend his time at PSG, opting to leave on a free transfer at the end of this season, according to 90min.

The news outlet further reports that Mbappe has informed the club of his decision to reject their latest contract offer, and is even willing to give up a £69 million (R1.6 billion) loyalty bonus he was due to receive from the club this season in order to be able to leave as a free agent.
This decision comes after he rejected the Les Parisiens' previous attempts to keep him at the Parc des Princes until 2025, having even offered him a "guaranteed sale clause" in the proposed deal.
In a bid to avoid losing the player on a free in 2024, PSG attempted to sell the striker to Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal for a reported fee of £263 million (R6.1 billion), but Mbappe rejected the move that would have been a world-record transfer.

Over the entirety of the transfer window, the Frenchman had been linked heavily with Real, but the LALIGA giants never tabled a formal bid.
Instead, Los Blancos appear adamant to wait until the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner becomes a free agent before securing his services.
As thing stand, Real only have to wait until January to initiate pre-contract talks with Mbappe.
