Although Kylian Mbappé's contract ends next June, Leonardo has absolutely no intention of giving up and assures that he still believes in an extension of the “best player in the world” in his eyes.

Kylian Mbappé's situation is starting to become urgent. And for good reason, his contract ends next June and if he does not extend, from January 1 he will be free to sign up with the club of his choice with a view to arriving at the end of the season. With this in mind, Real Madrid could well return to the charge after trying their luck last summer. In vain, since the PSG rejected all offers from club merengue which had offered between 160 and 200M €. Now, the risk is to see Kylian Mbappé leave free at the end of the season. The capital club still hope to convince its striker to extend and if possible before the clash against Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League in order to avoid rumors swelling in the approach to this double confrontation.

At 22, almost 23, Kylian has come to incredible maturity. “Dithyrambic with regard to Kylian Mbappé , Leonardo therefore recognizes that” it is a very special situation because we are talking about the best player in the world who is coming to the end of his contract . “Despite everything, he refuses to abdicate and ensures that he continues to believe in an extension of Kylian Mbappé . “You could say there were times when we argued more hotly, but that's part of building rapport. […] If he decides to stay, he will stay because we want to. I think they are going through it all very quietly. But it's a complicated situation in the sense that you would like him to stay all his life [in Paris] and we have to respect that [their position]. I think there are still good possibilities [to extend it]. I believe in it “, adds Leonardo who confirms his will to” keep him as long as possible. “It remains to be seen whether Kylian Mbappé will be sensitive to the speech of his sports director.
