FRENCH champion Paris Saint-Germain has said that star striker Kylian Mbappe will stay at the club next season, despite the World Cup-winner hinting he might leave.

The 20-year-old said Sunday he wanted more “responsibilities, maybe at PSG, maybe elsewhere” after winning the Ligue 1 player of the season award.

But PSG said in a statement on Twitter: “Strong ties have united PSG and Kylian Mbappe for two years and that story will continue next season.

“It’s a highly anticipated moment to also write, together, a big page in the history of our club, in which each major player will have to take his share, all the while working for the squad.”

Mbappe’s comments on Sunday, with Real Madrid reportedly attempting to lure him to Spain, appeared a calculated move.

“I said what I had to say. When you’re on stage you can send messages, I think I got mine across,” Mbappe said.

“If I keep talking it would be too much and that’s not the message I want to send.”
