Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has, on Thursday evening, provided an insight into his plans beyond the summer.
The subject of frontman Mbappe’s future, of course, has taken its place centre stage in the headlines once more over the course of the course of the week to date.
This comes after confirmation was forthcoming that the French international has informed the powers that be at the Parc des Princes of his intention not to renew his terms with the club.
Mbappe’s terms in Paris, as a result, are due to come to an end in just 12 months’ time.
With fellow countryman Karim Benzema having last week opted to call time on his stint with Real Madrid in favour of the riches of Saudi Arabia, it has therefore come as little surprise to see links between Mbappe, and long-time suitors Los Blancos, reemerge in force once more.
Outlets across the European media have begun pushing the suggestion that the 24-year-old could at long last join forces with Carlo Ancelotti’s troops, with a view to next season.

Speaking to the press on Thursday, whilst away on international duty, Mbappe’s future, as a result, was put to him once more.
Asked directly whether he could seek out an exit this summer, rather than next, however, the former Monaco prodigy appeared adamant in his stance:
“Leaving PSG this summer? The goal is to stay. My only option, at the moment, is to stay at PSG.”
