France striker Kylian Mbappé has told Paris St-Germain he intends to leave the club at the end of the season, reports BBC News.
The 25-year-old's deal with the Ligue 1 champions is scheduled to expire and he has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Mbappé's future was the subject of a major stand-off with PSG last summer.
At one point, Mbappé was exiled from the first-team squad and left out of the club's pre-season tour of Asia.
However, an agreement was reached that ensured PSG would not lose out when Mbappé eventually left and the terms of his now seemingly inevitable exit are still to be confirmed.
The forward has a one-year extension clause, so it is expected his departure will involve either a sale with a transfer fee or financial sacrifices on the player's part.
Whilst PSG would have wanted Mbappé to remain at the club, his exit looks set to come as they aim to build a younger squad and move away from the 'Galacticos' plan, that has also seen Argentina forward Lionel Messi and Brazil international Neymar leave since the end of last season.
It is estimated Mbappé, who won the World Cup with France in 2018, earns around €200m per year (£171m).
PSG are 11 points clear of second-placed Nice at the top of the French league and will also play Nice in the quarter-finals of the domestic cup.
