Kylian Mbappe wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain in the January transfer window, according to bombshell reports published on Tuesday in both Spain and France.<\/p>\n

Mbappe signed a new contract with PSG last summer after being heavily linked with Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

But reports published in RMC, Marca,\u00a0Le Parisien\u00a0and\u00a0L\u2019Equipe\u00a0all say that Mbappe wants to leave the club because of a breakdown in relations with the senior management.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The reports add that PSG are willing to work with the World Cup winner to arrange a departure, but reportedly the club have made it clear that he cannot join Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, there were claims that Mbappe made demands to the club, as part of his decision to stay, including a desire to sell team-mate Neymar.<\/p>\n

Following PSG\u2019s goalless draw against Reims on Sunday, Mbappe posted a cryptic Instagram story with the word \u201c#pivotgang\u201d which has been interpreted as a subtle dig at manager Christophe Galtier\u2019s insistence on playing the 23-year-old at the point of his attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what was said to Kylian before I arrived in Paris,\u201d Galtier told the press post-match.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut throughout the preparation, we discussed a lot with Luis Campos and the president [Nasser al-Khelaifi] to have a fourth striker, with a different profile, who could allow us to have two strikers and for Kylian to play as often as possible in his preferred area.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we have other players, totally different, but world class. Kylian sometimes finds himself in the centre and he has the feeling of being a pivot.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he is an intelligent player, capable of adapting. I spoke to him yesterday [Sunday[ at length. About being able to exchange with him, about his expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eurosport France\u2019s Maximie Dupuis says he\u2019s not sure if PSG will regret keeping Mbappe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a way, Mbappe would have preferred to have a striker with him, more than being obliged to play the role of \u201cpivot\u201d,\u201d said Dupuis.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe feels that he has to play this role for the others [Lionel Messi and Neymar] when he hoped somebody would do that for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what Galtier explained yesterday. In fact, when you see the games, you see that he\u2019s not a pivot. But he feels he is.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure PSG regret for now to have Mbappe. But it\u2019s a weird situation because it started when Paris was good. Looked like that wasn\u2019t enough for Mbappe.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also understood that the club\u2019s sporting director, Luis Campos, is also likely to depart PSG after joining the Ligue 1 champions in the summer.<\/p>\n

Reports claim he is not happy with president Al-Khelaifi and the struggles to offload players.<\/p>\n
