Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe will potentially make a move out of the club according to Adil Rami, a former France international.

The 21-year-old is evidently linked to Spanish giants Real Madrid since the summer transfer window. Moreover, Premier League title holders Liverpool have also shown interest in Mbappe.

Furthermore, the Frenchman is stuck with PSG until the end of 2021-22. And, Mbappe’s chances to leave the Paris capital will increase if he does not renew the contract.

Will he leave?

Potentially, the PSG attacker might join Zinedine Zidane’s side at Santiago Bernabeu. Nevertheless, Rami is sure that Mbappe is planning his future career away from Parc des Princes.

When asked about Mbappe’s transfer rumors, Rami spoke to RMC Sport show Top of the Foot.

“I think it’s done, especially since it’s not moving forward in the [contract] discussions,” Rami said when quizzed on the possibility of the Frenchman signing for Madrid.

“You have the impression that it annoys him to talk about it, he does not talk about it with the club, his entourage. 

“And from the moment where it annoys him, it means he does not want to hear it. It is awkward for him. 

“His future is all mapped out and it’s sad for the Parisians, even for Ligue 1. I love this player.” 

Subsequently, Rami featured in the 2018 World Cup-winning France squad alongside Mbappe. However, now the France international plays with Boavista in Portugal.

Additionally, Mbappe displayed a terrific show right from the beginning of his senior career. He managed to score 33 goals in Ligue 1 in the season 2018-19. 

Furthermore, Mbappe netted 18 goals in 20 games in the following campaign for PSG.

Also, in the new season, the France striker already has six goals and three assists in four outings for the French champions.

Mbappe will be back in action for Thomas Tuchel’s side in the Champions League clash against Istanbul Basaksehir.

“It’s not the first time that we’ve lost the first match of the group stage. We know how to react,” he told PSG’s official website.

“The matches succeed each other quickly and we’ll try to win in Istanbul in order to honor the shirt and the club.”
