PSG chief tells Mbappe to make transfer decision

PSG chief has issued Kylian Mbappe ultimatum over Liverpool or Real Madrid transfer

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has told Kylian Mbappe to make a decision over his future as the Frenchman's contract saga with the club continues.

Leonardo wants Mbappe to extend his contract, which expires next summer, but Liverpool and Real Madrid have been sniffing around.

Jurgen Klopp is in need of a new forward at Anfield as Divock Origi could leave at the end of the season.

The Liverpool boss has keen on landing Mbappe but has faced stern competition from Real Madrid on his bid.

If Mbappe fails to pen a new deal this summer then he'll be bound  to sign a pre-agreement with a foreign club next January.

For that reason Leonardo will only be able to cash in on the 22-year-old in the upcoming transfer window.

So the PSG chief wants a decision now so he can continue planning for the future.

"I have been surprised by some of the talk surrounding Mbappe," Leonardo told France Bleu.

"He still has a full season [remaining on his contract]. His status at the club is more and more important and he is constantly shouldering more responsibilities.

"Then there is consistency and his career path to take into account. We have been talking to him for some time and the time to make a decision has arrived."
