Paris Saint-Germain insist Kylian Mbappe isn't going anywhere

Kylian Mbappe has been absolutely outstanding for PSG over the past two years

Kylian Mbappe set the rumour mill buzzing with his speech at the Ligue 1 Awards where he revealed that he is considering his future at Paris Saint-Germain. Addressing the crowd after winning both the Player of the Year award and the Young Player of the Year award, Mbappe said that he has come to a turning point in his career. About his future, he went on to say,

"maybe at Paris Saint-Germain. Or elsewhere with a new project".

However, Paris Saint-Germain released an official statement via Twitter today and it reads as follows:

"Strong links have united PSG and Kylian Mbappe for two years and that same story will continue next season.

"With a shared ambition to mark history in European football, after 50 years since PSG was founded, we have a chance to write a big page in history together and each major player will have to play his part, always working for the team."
