Paris Saint-Germain are willing to let Kylian Mbappe see out the final year of his contract on loan, according to BBC Sport’s Simon Stone.

The France international is expected to leave the Parc des Princes this summer after he declined a contract extension and PSG president Nasser Al Khelafi is now in the process of finding a buyer for him.

Mbappe’s current deal is set to expire in 2024 and PSG are determined not to lose him on a free transfer.

Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal have offered the Ligue 1 giants a whopping €300 million to sign Mbappe this window, while they have presented the player with an annual salary of €700m, with the ability to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer, something Mbappe reportedly wants to do.

However, the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur have also expressed their desire to sign the PSG star, although they will not be able to match Saudi Arabia’s mouth-watering offer.

PSG to loan out Mbappe?

While PSG are looking to offload Mbappe within the next month, BBC Sport have reported that they are open to letting him leave on loan for the 2023/24 campaign.

This would mean Mbappe’s final year at PSG would be spent away from the club, and would allow him to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer. However, PSG would be able to generate a loan fee - likely a substantial one - for Mbappe, which is reportedly deemed an option worth exploring.

It’s unknown whether the former AS Monaco starlet will accept Saudi Arabia’s ridiculous offer, but PSG may struggle to shift him as Mbappe has previously stressed that he wants to stay at the club for next season.

Therefore, loaning him out may become a viable option if any interested party is willing to splash a huge sum of money to sign him on a season-long loan.
