Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino said that striker Kylian Mbappe, even if he does not renew his contract, is still a player in the Paris team, stressing his “happiness” with his presence.

Pochettino said in a press conference today, Thursday, dedicated to his match against his host “Brest 29” tomorrow: “Kylian Mbappe has another year left, and even if he does not renew his contract, he is still a player in the team, and he is happy with his presence with us, he knows what he wants.” .

The Argentine coach added: “There are many rumors circulating during the transfer market, most of which are not true.”

In response to a question, “Did Kilian convey his desire to you?”, the Paris coach said, “All our discussions during the recent period are about how to achieve the team’s goals, and strive to win the match against Brest tomorrow, Friday, in the league, what I can say is that Mbappe is working.”

He continued: “The most important thing is that Kylian Mbappe is calm and knows what to do, and is preparing for the match tomorrow. We want to win, we have to take the three points.”

Mauricio Pochettino concluded his statements in this regard, “Mbappe is a PSG player, and I think he will stay with us this season, as he is working very hard for the future.”
Kylian Mbappe has a strong desire to move to Real Madrid, and he sent a clear message to his club, Paris Saint-Germain, with his desire to play with the Royal Club during the season competitions (2021-2022).

“I want to go to Madrid, I will not renew,” the Italian newspaper, “La Gazzetta dello Sport”, quoted Kylian Mbappe as saying on its cover Thursday morning.

According to the Italian newspaper, Mbappe met with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of Paris Saint-Germain, to express his intention to leave the “Park of the Princes” stadium during the last days of the summer transfer market.

Despite the result of that meeting, Paris Saint-Germain decided not to change its plans with the player, as the French club stresses that it does not intend to sell, and will risk losing it for free in the summer of 2022.
