Kylian Mbappe wishes to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer
By Josh Ricker
After two years at Paris Saint-Germain, it appears that forward Kylian Mbappe is ready to leave the French club for a new challenge.
This is after reports coming from Fox Sports Asia that Kylian Mbappe has requested a transfer from the club,
"Kylian Mbappe has reportedly handed in a transfer request at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) asking to let him leave the club as early as this summer transfer window. El Chiringuito are reporting the same via their channel with renowned journalist Jose Luis Sanchez confirming the news for the broadcast."

This is quite shocking news given that the French attacker is one of, if not the hottest commodity in world football at the moment. After scoring 39 goals in just 43 appearances this year at the Parisian club he is ready for a new team with new titles to chase.
The new suitors for the player will obviously get a huge boost next year domestically as well as in European competition. The move could also influence what Neymar Jr. does and if he decides to make a return move back to Barcelona to reignite his career.
Real Madrid is favourite currently to sign the pacy forward as they are still looking to replace the gaping goal tally left by Cristiano Ronaldo. After a truly tumultuous season in La Liga, they will be looking for a real goalscorer that they can count on.
Juventus and Barcelona will also be in on signing the young star from PSG. For how much, nobody really has a legitimate value associated with his name. However, we can infer that the transfer fee would be in the hundreds of millions.
Surprisingly enough, Newcastle of the Premier League is also one of the favourites to sign the player. This is due to Sheikh Khaled being in the process of purchasing the team, and most likely pumping exponential amounts of money into it.

Whatever happens, it will be an interesting summer for the forward and PSG.
