French striker Kylian Mbappe's future at his current club, the Ligue 1 champion, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), remains uncertain. While he has been linked to a move to Real Madrid this summer, various reports present a different story. Recently, it was also reported that he had agreed to sign a two-year contract extension at the French capital, only for his mother to deny it as rumours.

Mbappe’s mother, Lamari Fayza took to her Twitter handle to explain the reports and wrote, "There is no agreement in principle with Paris Saint-Germain (or any other club). Discussions around Kylian's future are continuing in a climate of great serenity to allow him to make the best choice, with respect for all parties."

Fayza also reportedly spoke to Spanish publication MARCA and said, “It is completely false that Kylian has renewed.” Madrid has been desperate to sign the Mbappe for a long time, while it also happens to be his dream club. Also, with Gareth Bale likely to leave the Spanish capital following the season-end, Los Blancos is looking to replace the Welsh with the Frenchman.

Mbappe has been a sensation for PSG since joining it in 2017. While he played the first season on loan from Monaco, he made an instant impact, leading to the Parisians signing him on a permanent basis the next season for €180 million, making him the most expensive teenager signing to date. Playing in the French capitals, he has scored 167 goals in 214 matches across competitions.

As for his club career, Mbappe has scored 198 in 286. Meanwhile, playing for his national side, he has hammered 26 in 54. Considering his accolades, he has won 11 titles, including four Ligue 1 titles. With France, he has triumphed in the FIFA World Cup 2018 and the UEFA Nations League 2020-21.
