The revelation could spark a transfer scramble with Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid all in the mix.
Mbappe, who permanently moved to PSG for £165million in 2018, has two years left on his deal in the French capital.
The Times write how he has informed PSG he wants to play one more season giving them a final opportunity to generate a transfer fee.
Mbappe is thought to have an interest in playing for the Red Devils while previously revealing his admiration for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.
He said in January: “What Liverpool do in this moment is amazing.
“They’re like a machine, they’ve found a rhythm and are like ‘we play again, we play again’.
“When you watch you think everything’s easy, but that’s not easy.
“The guys are focused, they play games every three days and they win, they win, they win.
“To be as ruthless as they have been would come from lots of hard work in training and from having a very good manager.”
Real Madrid and Barcelona are long-term admirers and were beaten to his signature when he left Monaco in 2017.
His availability could come at the perfect time for Barcelona who are braced to lose Lionel Messi next summer.
Real Madrid are also tightening the purse strings this summer and are likely to have cash to spend next year.
Klopp has remained loyal to his front three of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
But his deadly trio all turn 29 next year and the German wouldn’t pass on the chance to sign a younger superstar.
Mbappe is one of football’s biggest talents and is touted to win numerous Ballon d’Or’s once Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi hang up their boots.
In 2018 he proved pivotal guiding France to the World Cup by becoming only the second-ever teenager after Pele to score in the final.
He has scored 90 goals in 124 games since moving to PSG and has won three consecutive league titles.
