Kylian Mbappe will tell PSG that he wants to leave the club this summer.

According to The Sun, Mbappe has grown disillusioned at the Parc des Princes - with the Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich earlier this week only adding to his frustration.

PSG were beaten 1-0 on Tuesday in the Champions League 16 first leg in Paris and face an uphill task to qualify for the next round.

The Athletic and Marca report that Real Madrid are ready to renew their attempts to sign Mbappe this summer, with the European champions considered the favourites to get the attacker.

Mbappe to Real Madrid talks in 2022

Mbappe had seemed destined to join Real Madrid last summer but completed a dramatic turnaround by penning a three-year extension with PSG at the end of May 2022.

Throughout 2021-22, it had been unanimously accepted that he would sign for Madrid on a Bosman transfer when his previous PSG contract expired.

Having rejected a €200 million bid from Real Madrid for Mbappe last summer, the Frenchman was believed to have already agreed a free transfer move to the club he supported as a child.

This was reinforced by the fact that he rejected numerous offers of a PSG extension throughout the campaign.

But, in a shock twist, Mbappe decided to sign a new deal at PSG.

It was thought that the new deal at PSG ran until 2025 but there are reports that it actually expires in 2024.

Only Mbappe himself – and not PSG – would have the option of extending the deal by a further year.

This certainly gives Madrid more chances of finally signing Mbappe this summer.

It is understood that PSG do not intend to sell Mbappe at the end of the season but may have to rethink these plans if the player really pushes.

Mbappe was in action on Sunday in the 4-3 win over Lille, scoring twice in a dramatic victory.
