The France superstar confirmed his decision in a letter to PSG, a person with knowledge of the correspondence told The Associated Press. Mbappe had until July 31 to trigger a one-year extension to his contract. The new focus would be on young, French talent. Mbappe was expected to be at the heart of that shift and it had been hoped he would sign a longer-term contract. Mbappe has won five French league titles with PSG and was a World Cup winner with France in 2018.
