The striker and captain of the Blues brushed aside the (many) questions about his future at the club, this Friday March 22 at a press conference, on the eve of the France-Germany friendly match.
The striker and captain of the France team Kylian Mabappé refused to comment on his future and to confirm his departure from PSG at the end of the season, Friday in Lyon on the eve of the France-Germany friendly match, ensuring that he had "nothing to announce".
"I haven’announced anything until then because I had nothing to announce. I have always said that the day I have something to say, I will do it. I have never hidden, I am not afraid. But sorry to disappoint you, I have nothing to announce to you", explained the PSG player, when asked about his future at the club.
"The treble is much more important than whether I'll stay or not"
According to a source close to the matter, Mbappé nevertheless indicated to Parisian leaders at the beginning of February that he would leave the capital club next summer, seven years after his arrival in Paris. Real Madrid are the overwhelming favorites to host the 2018 world champion.
"We are in a final sprint, engaged in all competitions. The idea of making the hat-trick (L1, Coupe de France, Champions League, editor's note) is much more important than the question of whether I will stay or not. There are important matches coming up, we are focused on that, I am putting all my energy and all my strength into that", Mbappé also said.
JO: "My ambition has not changed"
Also questioned about his desire to participate in the Olympic Games in Paris this summer, the attacker once again proclaimed his interest while repeating that he was not master of his decision, in the hands of his future employer. "I always had the same ambition, I said that the Olympic Games in Paris were a special event and that I wanted to be there . I also always said that it didn't depend on me. My ambition hasn't changed, no, but the final decision still belongs to the same person. I'm at a point in my life where I'm taking a step back. If I go, I'll live a waking dream, if I don't go, I'll have to get used to it, a-t -he declared.
Real Madrid, in pole position to recruit Mbappé, sent a letter to the French Football Federation informing it that it would not release any of its foreign players for the JO.
