Ethan Mbappe, the younger brother of Kylian Mbappe, is poised to depart from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as his contract with the club nears its end this summer. Reports from ‘Foot Mercato’ indicate that the 17-year-old talent is set to make a move to Lille, where he aims to secure a more prominent role in the first-team setup.
As PSG grapples with the impending departure of Kylian Mbappe, who is poised for a potential move to Real Madrid after an illustrious seven-year stint in Paris, the club faces another blow with the departure of Ethan Mbappe. The younger Mbappe sibling has reportedly decided against extending his contract with PSG, a decision confirmed by ‘La Voix du Nord’.
With his contract set to expire at the conclusion of the season, Ethan sees Lille as an enticing destination, especially considering their upcoming participation in the Champions League qualifiers following their fourth-place finish in the French league.
Negotiations regarding Ethan’s contract extension with PSG have hit a standstill, signaling his readiness to seek opportunities elsewhere. PSG’s decision to halt negotiations in February, upon learning of Kylian’s departure plans, has left Ethan’s future with the club uncertain.
Lille’s offer presents Ethan with the opportunity for more regular first-team action, a stark contrast to his limited playing time at PSG, where he has made just five appearances for the first team, predominantly featuring for the U19 squad.
