Paris Saint Germain surrendered the French League title to Lille yesterday, and star forward Kylian Mbappe has now sent out a message to the club’s hierarchy.
The World Cup winner has urged the club to build a solid project around him, and he is not willing to commit his long term future to the club unless his conditions are met.
Mbappe finished as the top scorer of the French League with 27 goals, but it has been a disappointing season for the French outfit.
Not only did they fail to win domestically, but they have also been quite disappointing in the Champions League.
A club with their resources should be winning major trophies on a consistent basis, but PSG have failed to deliver this season.
Mbappe has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and Liverpool in recent months, and it will be interesting to see his suitors try and make a move for him in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi sent out a strong message yesterday regarding the player’s future at the club. He has claimed that Mbappe is under contract with PSG, and he wants to stay at the club.
Mbappe said: “Everyone knows how profoundly attached I am to the club. I have always been very thankful towards the president, my different coaches.
“What I want is to win; I feel like I am somewhere where I can win, where there is a solid project around me. The footballing project is essential. I want to feel like I am part of a team that is going to do something.
“Then, up to us to show what we can do, we are talking with the club, we will see what happens. In any case, I have always been happy here, and I have had four exceptional years here; we are very clear with the club.
“The club knows my relationship with it, this city, this country. We are going to do things in the way they should be done, in one way or another. I cannot say what needs to be done; I am just a player, but I think that people have seen, everyone has seen. When everyone sees, it is easier to draw conclusions, but there is no problem. We lost the title, but now, we have to concentrate on the future.”
