“I don’t know yet” - Kylian Mbappe drops cryptic update on PSG future amid rumours of Real Madrid transfer
Kylian Mbappe has provided a cryptic update on his PSG future amidst rumours of a move to Real Madrid. The Frenchman admitted that is uncertain about his future as he approaches "big deadlines."
Mbappe joined PSG from AS Monaco for a deal worth up to €180m in 2018. The 22-year-old moved to Paris on an initial season-long loan deal in 2017 before joining permanently the following year.
Having been at PSG since 2017, Mbappe is an integral part of the Parisians' squad. However, the forward is now in the final eight months of his contract with PSG and there have been no signs that he will sign a fresh deal.
As Mbappe nears the end of his PSG contract, there has been talk of a move to Real Madrid for the superstar. Los Blancos were keen to sign the forward from Mauricio Pochettino's side in the summer but a move did not materialise.
Mbappe has continued to be linked with a move to Real Madrid over recent months. The forward has now dropped a cryptic update about his future at PSG.
The former Monaco star explained that he has enjoyed his time at PSG so far but admitted that he is uncertain where the future lies for him. Mbappe insisted that there are "big deadlines" coming up. He told TNT Sports:
"I don't know yet. I am here. I said I had 5 extraordinary years, I enjoyed every moment and I'm still doing it. There are a lot of big things coming up, big deadlines, but I've already talked about them."
Real Madrid remain determined to acquire Mbappe's services from PSG. They could look to sign him for a cut-price fee in January or they could wait until the summer to snap him up on a free transfer.
