“I have NEVER discussed any contract renewal with PSG”.

“The board has been informed since July 15th, 2022 of my decision not to extend beyond 2024 — and the letter sent was only meant to confirm what I already told them”.

Why exactly are clubs so reluctant to let players leave on a free when they've been at the club this long? Surely a player like Mbappe has sort of "paid back" his transfer fee after all the time he's spent there?

Because they want Mbappe to be the poster boy for the club. He has the perfect marketing potential for them - a Parisien playing for the city's biggest club, one of the best players in the world and young.

Ah that makes sense but it's very stubborn. Mbappe doesn't seem to want that

Still getting money back through a sale means you are making a handy profit.
