According to numerous reports on Saturday, Kylian Mbappe has decided to stay at Paris Saint-Germain despite weeks of speculation linking the forward to a move to Real Madrid.
According to L’Equipe in France and Marca in Spain, the French World Cup winner has decided to stay with PSG and is about to sign a three-year extension to his contract, which expires on June 30.
The player’s entourage declined to comment, but sources say PSG could issue a statement later Saturday at the Parc des Princes, when the club plays Metz in their final match of the season.
Over the last few months, the 23-year-‘will-he-won’t-he old’s move to Madrid has kept supporters and both clubs on their toes.
Mbappe has made no secret of his ambition to play for Real Madrid, who will face Liverpool in the Champions League final next weekend after winning the Spanish league for the 35th time.
PSG, on the other hand, have fought to keep hold of their most valuable asset, despite winning Ligue 1 for a record-equaling ninth time and infuriating their die-hard fans with their Champions League last-16 elimination to Real.
Mbappe appears to be remaining put alongside Neymar and Lionel Messi to aid them in their long-running Champions League bid.
Mbappe has informed Real Madrid president Florentino Perez of his choice to stay at the French champions, according to Marca and RMC.
