Journalist Loic Tanzi of 'L'Equipe' reports that Kylian's brother Ethan Mbappe also has options to leave Paris Saint-Germain for next season, as his brother has already unofficially told the board. In fact, the journalist reports a cooling of relations between the Parc des Princes top brass and the family's camp, especially on their mother's side.

This season began with the two Mbappe brothers sharing the field in PSG's training sessions and even in some call-ups. Now, the situation is quite different. Kylian has already told the Parc des Princes board that he will leave the club in the summer - Luis Enrique has already said so in several press conferences in the absence of official confirmation - and it is quite likely that his brother Ethan will leave too.

Loic Tanzi, in a report published in 'L'Equipe', reports that relations between the two players' families and the Paris bosses have cooled recently. Fayza Lamari, the mother of the two players, has been particularly unhappy that the bosses of the French capital have been slipping news to the press to spoil the image of her eldest son as a way of pressuring him to renew his contract.

Even so, the way the No. 7 has acted towards the French club's board has been one of absolute respect. He has even gone so far as to dine at the Elysee Palace with the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, and that of his club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, a gesture that, if this leak is true, will probably not have pleased his mother, who manages around 30% of the money he generates for charity. That is why it is so important in every negotiation.

The source mentioned in the second paragraph claims that there have already been offers for Ethan Mbappe, although, right now, no suitor is close to signing him. It will be easier if he does not renew his contract with PSG, which runs out in the summer, like that of his brother. For Luis Enrique, he has become increasingly dispensable. He has not given him a chance since the visit to Orleans in the Coupe de France on 20th January.
