"Human ties are more fascinating than money" - Kylian Mbappe drops subtle hint on future amid rumors of PSG exit
PSG attacker Kylian Mbappe continues to be linked with a switch away from the Parc des Princes. Amid the rumors, the Frenchman has once again addressed his future with the French giants, dropping a subtle hint on what his next step could be.
There have been reports that PSG have offered to make Kylian Mbappe the highest-paid player in their squad in a bid to convince him to stay.
However, the striker doesn't seem to be moved by that as he maintains that money isn't the most important thing to consider.
"Human ties are more fascinating than money," the 22-year-old was quoted as saying.
"It is life experience that counts more than earning money, even if it is important, because we have families to support."
Kylian Mbappe then proceeded by giving a hint regarding his future plans. He revealed that he is open to traveling abroad to make new discoveries, link up with players of different cultures and try out new things.
This clearly shows that the attacker is very much interested in joining a new club.
"I am looking forward to discovering, traveling, meeting players from different cultures," he explained.
"Now that we are talking about a career, there may be room for the unforeseen. Indulging yourself, creating surprise, is part of the beauty of sport.
"Things can happen that change your plans: it is impossible to predict what I will do in the next 20 years," Mbappe added.
