PSG are reportedly set to lower their asking price for Kylian Mbappe for clubs who are interested in signing him this summer.
The Frenchman’s contract with the Ligue 1 giants is set to expire in 2022. Real Madrid are rumored to be in pole position in the race for his signature.
According to Le Parisien, PSG are growing frustrated with Kylian Mbappe as he is yet to come to an agreement with the club over a new contract. The club will reportedly demand a fee in the range of €120 million – €150 million rather than risk losing the forward on a free transfer at the end of next season.

Kylian Mbappe joined PSG on a season-long loan with an option to buy for €180 million in the summer of 2017. He has since led the club to three Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France titles and two Coupe de la Ligue titles.
