PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have given Kylian Mbappe a transfer ultimatum that could lead to many of his team-mates being sold, according to reports.
The 24-year-old has been told by the club they expect him to sign a new contract this summer or he will be sold.

Mbappe’s current deal at PSG runs until the end of the upcoming season and there is an one-year extension option, which he was expected to trigger.
However, the star informed the Ligue 1 champions in a letter that he plans to walk away for free next summer and not honour his optional extension clause.
PSG have been left fuming and are determined not to lose him for nothing.
They have told the him that leaving on a free could lead to many of his team-mates being put up for sale as the club will have to recoup funds elsewhere.
Mbappe is reportedly in line for a huge loyalty bonus should he make it to next summer in Paris.
Sky Sports claim that he will be offloaded this summer if no new deal is agreed, potentially starting a bidding war.
The attacker has been heavily linked with Real Madrid throughout his career and the door could be open after Karim Benzema‘s departure.
But Manchester United are also pushing to sign a striker and he has been linked with a move to the Premier League.

Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim is in the running to buy the Red Devils from the Glazers and could be in a good position to negotiate a deal for Mbappe as he knows the PSG chiefs, who are also from his homeland.
There was also a shock report last month that Arsenal could swoop for the World Cup winner.
Mbappe’s current deal at PSG is worth a supposed £500million.
