'I wanted to stay in France,' says Kylian Mbappe after signing a contract extension with Paris St Germain that will keep the 23-year-old tied with the French club until 2025
Amid Real's interest, Mbappe signed a contract extension with PSG last week that will keep the 23-year-old tied with the French club until 2025.Real had pursued Mbappe last year when he had a year left on his contract and though they had reported bids as high as 200 million euros rejected last summer, they were ready to wait and sign him for free this year."It's always been a difficult decision... I wanted time to make the right decision.
Mbappe said he made his much-awaited decision last week but the club told him not to tell his team mates as they wanted to keep it a secret and surprise the world."I have lots of respect for him and for Real Madrid. They wanted to do a lot to make me happy. So I thank them for that... I'd like to thank Real fans.
But PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi said it was a case of sour grapes as the Spanish league had lost its sheen.
