Sources have told ESPN that Kylian Mbappe wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain in January because of his relationship with the club.
Five months after signing a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain, sources say Kylian Mbappe feels at odds with the direction of the club. He would prefer to sign for Real Madrid.

Sources have said that the club want to keep Mbappe and intend to resolve the situation after the game against Benfica on Tuesday night.
According to sources, the sporting director, president and manager have not kept their word.
One of the promises was that he would play with a pivot next to him. Sources said that the World Cup winner was told that another centre-back would be recruited by Paris Saint-Germain, but it did not happen.
According to sources, the Ligue 1 champion was open to offers for the Brazilian but couldn't find a club for him.
According to sources, the signing-on fee of Kylian Mbappe's three-year deal made him the highest-paid player in the world.
Forbes says that Mbappe will make a record $128 million in the 2022-23 season. His appearance at the top of football's rich list was the first time a player other than Messi orRonaldo had reached the top of the pile.
In September, after France beat Austria in the Nations League, he said he was having more fun playing for the national team because he had more freedom than at Paris Saint-Germain.
"What they ask of me is not the same as what I'm used to in France," he said. I have more freedom at this place than at Paris Saint-Germain.
The coach knows that I can move and go into space if I want to. In Paris, I'm asked to play pivot, but I like playing everywhere.
There were issues with Mbappe in the news conference.
The coach is trying to make him feel reassured. I don't know what the club said to him before I arrived, but we are very sensitive as to how he feels and what he says because he is an important player for the team.
