Paris Saint-Germain ace Kylian Mbappe has less than a year remaining on his contract.
Kylian Mbappe’s mum Fayza Lamari may have leaked the player’s allegiances to Manchester United and four other clubs after revealing the football shirts he used to wear as a child. Mbappe, who is regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, has starred for Paris Saint-Germain for the last five years but looks set to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the campaign
Earlier this year, Mbappe told PSG chiefs he had no intention of triggering a contract extension when his latest deal runs out. And the French giants then tried to offload him to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal for a world-record £259million.
Mbappe refused to enter into talks over a move to the Middle East and was even left out of his club’s tour to Asia over the summer as PSG attempted to cash in on him. But the 24-year-old was eventually reintroduced to the first team and has gone on to bag nine goals this season.
Mbappe has been heavily linked with a transfer to Real Madrid, with rumours of a move to either Manchester United, Liverpool or Chelsea also circulating in recent months. And it appears United and Real were two of the player’s favourite clubs as a youngster, while his mother has also revealed he also donned PSG colours.
One club Mbappe was particularly fond of was AC Milan. And discussing the San Siro club’s shirt her son used to wear, Lamari explained: “He wore it for training and even to bed. But like so many others – Real Madrid, France, PSG, Manchester United for CR7 (Cristiano Ronaldo). He loved top strikers, but he could also wear the shirt of (Swiss striker, Alexander) Frei of Rennes.”
And she continued: “He was immersed in cheering for Milan right from the start. When he came home, he would only talk about Milan. If Milan lost, he could throw the remote control at the TV and say a few bad words in Italian.”
Meanwhile, one of Mbappe’s earliest coaches Antonio Riccardi added: “Kylian told me that Milan were part of his plans, but at the end of his career. He was joking unfortunately. No one or almost no one can afford him now.”
Mbappe has bagged an incredible 221 goals and 99 assists in 270 matches for PSG and has helped the club win five Ligue 1 titles. But if he doesn’t commit his future to the French team by the end of the year, he will be free to enter into contract negotiations with overseas clubs in January.
