Lyon. The attacker and captain of the France team, Kylian Mbappé, refused to comment on his future departure from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, on the eve of the friendly match against Germany.
I haven’t announced anything until now, because there was nothing to say. I have always mentioned that the day I have something to communicate, I will do it. I have never hidden. I will be focused on the national team when the Euro Cup arrives, I think that by then (my future) will already be resolved, explained the PSG star in relation to his next stop in football.
According to a source close to the Parisian club, Mbappé indicated to the leaders in early February that he will not renew his contract and will leave PSG at the end of it in June, seven years after arriving at the entity. Real Madrid is the big favorite to take over his services.
We are in the final sprint of the season. The idea of achieving a treble (Ligue 1, French Cup, Champions League) is much more important than the question of whether I am going to stay or not, he assured.
The 25-year-old footballer was also questioned about his desire to participate in the Paris Olympics this year and insisted that it is not a decision that depends on him, but rather on the team he is on at the time.
I have always had the same desire, I have said that the Olympic Games in Paris are a special event and that I wanted to be there. It doesn’t depend on me. My intention has not changed, but the final decision is not up to me. I am at a time in my life where I distance myself. If I go, I will live a dream. If not, I will have to accept it, she declared.
Madrid, which according to rumors would probably be Mbappé’s destination for the next campaign, sent a letter to the French Football Federation to inform it that it would not release any of its foreign elements for the Parisian summer tournament.
The French team, meanwhile, faces a tough test this Saturday against Germany ahead of the Euro Cup, although they will not have Antoine Griezmann.
