‘I’ve not decided’: Mbappé coy over PSG future after sinking Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappé has said he is happy at Paris Saint-Germain but remains undecided over his future as rumours continue to swirl over a move to Real Madrid.
Mbappé scored a late winner as PSG defeated Madrid 1-0 in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie. The 23-year-old forward’s contract is due to expire at the end of this season.
“I’ve not decided my future,” Mbappé told the broadcaster Movistar after Tuesday’s match. “I play for Paris Saint-Germain, one of the best clubs in the world.”
His goal triggered wild celebrations from PSG fans, and Mbappé was asked whether that acclaim might play a part in shaping his decision. “No, I’ve not decided,” he replied. “I give my best and then we will see what happens next season.”
PSG turned down an offer of about £170m from Madrid for Mbappé last August. The France international, who has 22 goals and 16 assists for PSG this season, is expected by many to move to Real on a free, having so far resisted offers to sign a new PSG deal.
“How to ignore the [transfer] context? It’s easy, you have to play football,” Mbappé told the broadcaster Canal+. “We ask too many questions, we say too many things. We talk about PSG and Real, two big clubs. I’m a PSG player, I’m always very happy.”
