Kylian Mbappe could reportedly turn down the chance to sign a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain if the French giants are eliminated from the Champions League by Barcelona.
The 21-year-old's existing deal in Paris is due to expire in June 2022, and a number of clubs, including Real Madrid and Liverpool, are said to be desperate to sign him.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi recently said that he was "very confident" of agreeing a new long-term contract with the France international, who has scored 12 times and registered eight assists in 15 appearances for Thomas Tuchel's side this term.
However, according to AS, Mbappe could decide against committing his future to the club if they are knocked out by Barca in the last-16 stage of the Champions League next year.
Real Madrid would reportedly be in a commanding position to sign the World Cup winner if he informed PSG that he wants to seek pastures new.
The former Monaco youngster has scored 102 goals and registered 59 assists in 139 appearances for PSG in all competitions.

Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Lille midfielder Renato Sanches.
The 23-year-old was a highly-rated youngster at Benfica but found it difficult to settle at Bayern Munich after a move to the Bundesliga giants in 2016.
Sanches spent the 2017-18 campaign on loan with Swansea City in the Premier League, but the Portugal international struggled to make his mark for the Welsh club.
The midfielder has rediscovered his form at Lille, though, and has started the 2020-21 season in impressive form, contributing one goal in 10 appearances for the Ligue 1 side.
According to Le 10 Sport, Liverpool are weighing up Sanches as a possible replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum, who has still not signed a new deal with the Premier League champions.
Wijnaldum, who is close to entering the final six months of his contract at Anfield, could be on his way out of the Merseyside club during the January transfer window, with Barcelona said to be admirers.
