Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has said Kylian Mbappe will not be allowed to leave the club and that Real Madrid can forget signing the World Cup winner any time soon.
Real Madrid is interested in the PSG star, Kylian Mbappe, who will be out of contract in 2022 but face a difficult challenge signing him due to financials involved. Furthermore, the Ligue 1 runners-up are adamant that the World Cup winner is going nowhere.
“I’ll be clear”. Said Khelaifi.
“We’re never going to sell him and he’ll never leave for free. I never give details to the media about ongoing negotiations. All I can say is that it’s progressing well. I hope we’ll find common ground. It’s Paris, it’s his country. He has a mission, not just to be a football player, but to promote Ligue 1, his country and his capital”.
“He is a fantastic boy, as a person and as an athlete. He’ll win the Ballon d’Or in years to come. I’m 100% sure. He has everything he needs to extend here. Where can he go? Which club in terms of ambition and project can compete with PSG today?”.
On the other hand, Mbappe claims he wants to see how ambitious PSG is before signing a new deal. In response, the French Ligue 1 giants are ready to meet Mbappe’s expectations.
“if he expects guarantees on the quality of the team if he says that he wants to win and that’s not a bad thing. We are ambitious too. But if he wants to decide who to recruit or not, that is not possible. I repeat, he’s a great boy. I’m sure he says that because he wants a better team to win the Champions League”.
