Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe has said he intends to stay at the club next season “no matter what” among the speculations that link him with a move away from France.
Mbappe, 21, attracted interest from Real Madrid and Liverpool with the expiration of his contract in 2022.

The World Cup winner scored the opening goal in PSG’s 4-0 friendly victory over Celtic on Tuesday and after the game, he said he would not leave the team this summer.
“I’m here and I’m on this project for the fourth year,” he told BEINSport. “This is the club’s 50th year and an important year in the eyes of the club, the fans and everyone.
“I will be here, no matter what, and I will try to win trophies with the team and do everything possible to get the best out of myself.”
Sources told ESPN in April that the French champions had made it a priority to tie Mbappe to a profitable deal.
Mbappe joined AS Monaco’s PSG in 2017 and helped them win three consecutive Ligue 1 titles.
Madrid president Florentino Perez has ruled out spending much money on summer transfers due to the financial impact of the coronavirus.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp also warned that it would be difficult for any club in the world to afford Mbappe in November.
PSG returns to competitive action on July 24 when they face Saint-Etienne in the French Cup final at the Stade de France.
