Asked about the future of Kylian Mbappé, this Wednesday afternoon, at a press conference, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi confirmed the position of PSG: either he extends his contract, or he leaves this summer. “If Kylian wants to stay, we want him to stay. But he has to sign a new contract. We don’t want to let the best player in the world leave for free”, announced the Parisian president after Luis Enrique’s appearance in front of the press. .
For “NAK”, it is simply “impossible” to see Mbappé, who confirmed his wish not to activate his one-year extension via a letter sent to the club, leave free next year. “Mbappé is in a French club, in his country, he continued. It’s impossible for him to leave for free. I’m sure he’s already said he won’t leave for free, like everyone else promised me. If someone changed his mind today, it’s not my fault. We don’t want to let one of the best players in the world go for free. is very clear.”
