Kylian Mbappe will be a topic of discussion this summer. Not only will he lead the line for the French national team at the Euros but he has also got to weigh up his options this summer after announcing he will leave PSG when the campaign finishes.

Here at PSG Post we delve into why it is not a wise decision to leave Les Parisens.

1. Real Madrid is a boring move

Real Madrid have been heavily linked to Mbappe for a while now. They are strong favorites to land what will unarguably be the biggest coup of the upcoming transfer window.

If he ends up at Real Madrid and wins the Champions League it will not mean as much in contrast to if he won it with PSG. Los Blancos have a rich history in the Champions League while the reigning French champions have not won the trophy in their history.

2. PSG won't get money for him

Mbappe will leave the French champions on a free as he didn't renew his contract. This is far from ideal for PSG as it will make it harder to find a replacement for him this summer window.

If PSG sold him for money they would replace him with a player who is borderline world-class. If they were going to sell Mbappe Les Parisens would need to find his replacement first as clubs would know they have the money from selling their star player.

They will also have limited time to find his successor as the summer transfer window will be shortened because of the Euros.
