Kylian Mbappe remained coy when he was asked about his future at Paris Saint-Germain during the international break. The 24-year-old striker faces an increasingly uncertain future in the French capital, with his contract at Les Parc des Princes set to expire at the end of the season.

In the summer, Nasser Al-Khelaifi announced that Mbappe has two-weeks to sign a new deal with the Parisians otherwise he would be sold. Fast forward a couple of months and the France international still hasn't committed his long-term future to PSG, nor has he been offloaded.

As it stands, foreign clubs will be eligible to begin pre-contract talks with Mbappe over a free transfer at the end of the season from January unless he suddenly signs an extension. If the Frenchman decides against penning a new contract then PSG must decide whether they'd rather risk losing him for free in the summer or cut their losses and cash-in in the winter transfer window.

With Mbappe keeping his options open, the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid have been mooted as a potential destination. In an interview with French publication Telefoot, as quoted by GFNF, he remained tight-lipped on his future.

"It’s something I don’t want to talk about," said Mbappe. "Especially since I already did it in June and it took up a big part of the international break. I want us to talk more about the national team, rather than me talking about something that will be resolved one day, so there will be time to talk about that."

If either Arsenal or Chelsea are lucky enough to get their hands on Mbappe, they would have to fork out millions on his wages and signing bonus alone. According to Spanish outlet AS, via Sport Witness, he's looking for a yearly wage of €35million (£30.5m) after tax and a sign-on fee in the region of €100million (£87m).

In the summer, Mauricio Pochettino was asked if he would like to reunite with the striker, and Neymar, at Chelsea. The Blues boss said: "I think in our past we were at Paris Saint Germain and with Kylian and think I need to be conscious that I cannot talk.

"Everything you talk is too much noise. It is a situation that is very delicate and one they need to fix in Paris with Kylian. For our side I have nothing to say. We are working on our reality, our reality is different. From my side, nothing to say, only to supporter them.

"I hope they find a solution for both sides. It is a club that I love, because I was a player, a captain and coach. With Kylian we create a very good relationship, I hope they can find the best solution for both sides."

While Pochettino may have enjoyed a 'very good relationship' with Mbappe at PSG, it remains to be seen whether even Chelsea have the finances to sign him after spending almost £1billion on new players since Todd Boehly took over in May 2022.
