‘Now there are many things, great challenges and I have already spoken about that.’
When asked whether he would stay at PSG for the foreseeable future, he replied:Â ‘I am here, I’m still here and will be for this season.

Spanish side Real Madrid, Mbappe’s preferred destination, are genuine favourites to sign him if he does leave the French capital, having made bids of £137m and £154m during the most recent transfer window.
Karim Benzema, Carlo Ancelotti and Real president Florentino Perez all spoke about the French attacker joining the Spanish side on a free transfer next year, forcing PSG sporting director Leonardo to slam the LaLiga club for a lack of respect.
Despite Real’s confidence in trying to sign him next year, there is a feeling nothing can be ruled out as PSG refuse to give up on him signing a new contract.Â
Mbappe, meanwhile, has continued to be in and around the goals this season, with seven strikes and 11 assists in 16 games for Mauricio Pochettino’s men, who top the Ligue 1 table after 11 wins from their first 13 games.Â
