The 24-year-old World Cup winner refused to sign an extension with the Ligue 1 champions, but the club wants to sell him this summer since they don’t want to lose him for free next summer.
Mbappe and Dembele were on the France team which won the 2018 World Cup. Since 2018 Mbappe has become arguably the best player in the world, while Dembele has struggled to live up to the hefty fee Barcelona spent on him.
