In a stunning turn of events, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has announced that they have made the decision to put star forward Kylian Mbappé on the transfer market, starting today.
 
The news comes amid growing speculation about Mbappé’s future and his supposed agreement to join Real Madrid in 2024 on a free transfer.
