Paris St. Germain put Kylian Mbappe up for sale in this transfer window after the French superstar refused to sign one of the costliest contracts ever.

Paris Saint-Germain has put Kylian Mbappe on sale after the French superstar refused to sign a contract extension at the Ligue 1 club and was also left out of the squad for a pre-season tour of Japan, casting further doubt on the star striker’s future.

PSG officially did give any reason for the Mbappe’s omission but accroding to reports, the France’s star refused to sign a 10-year one billion euro contract. The deal, arguably one of the costliest, would have seen Mbappe stay at PSG till age 34, effectively working as a lifetime contract.

According to reports in France, PSG have now made up their mind to sell Mbappe in this window.

Mbappe declared in May that he would not extend his PSG contract, which expires next year, but indicated he wanted to remain at the club for a final season.

“I still have a year left on my contract and I am going to honour my contract,” he said.

That would allow him to become a free agent next summer and leave PSG for nothing.

PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi reacted by saying earlier this month that Mbappe “must sign a new contract”,

“We can’t let the best player in the world today leave for free. It’s impossible,” Khelaifi said.

PSG’s 29-player squad that flies east on Saturday will include Mbappe’s younger brother, 16-year-old Ethan Mbappe as well as the club’s remaining superstar Neymar.

Mbappe has been taking part in the club’s pre-season preparations and played the last 30 minutes as PSG entertained Le Havre in a training-ground friendly on Friday, scoring a goal.

The club are under new management with Luis Enrique as coach.

Their Asian tour opens against Cristiano Ronaldo’s club Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia in Osaka, on July 25. PSG then play Cerezo Osaka, also in Osaka and Inter Milan in Tokyo before finishing off the tour in Busan, South Korea, against Jeonbuk Motors on August 3.

Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco in August 2017 in a 180-million-euro ($196-million) deal and has gone on to establish himself as one of the world’s most prominent players.
