Kylian Mbappe will reportedly leave Paris Saint-Germain this month after it was revealed the club are closing in on Lionel Messi
Six-time Ballon d'Or winner, Messi remains a free agent after Barcelona were blocked from registering the Argentine to a new deal and he is now set to join PSG soon, with a two-year deal worth £25m annually reportedly agreed with the option of a further year.
According to Spanish journalist Andi Onrubia, via the
Daily Star, the departure of Mbappe from PSG this summer is already a reality as he does not wish to renew his contract and Messi's arrival prevents the club from being able to keep him with Neymar also on the wage bill.
He confirmed on Twitter that "The Frenchman has never been as close to leaving as now."
Mabppe has long bee linked with a move to Liverpool, while Real Madrid are also believed to be keen on securing his services.
