Kylian Mbappe will remain a PSG player despite huge interest from Real Madrid after signing a new contract with the French side.
It seemed like Mbappe would leave the French capital when his contract expired in the summer. Los Blancos appeared to be his preferred destination but a sudden U-turn has seen the Frenchman agree a new deal with the French champions.
The 23-year-old said after signing the contract: “I am very happy to stay at PSG in France. I’ve always said Paris is my home, I hope we keep playing football and winning trophies together. Thank you for everything.”

The statement also confirmed that La Liga “will file a complaint against PSG before UEFA, the French administrative court and financial authorities, as well as the European Union authorities”.
