Al-Khelaifi has finally addressed the Mbappe exit rumours

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has shared his thoughts over the exit rumours of Kylian Mbappe, who will become a free agent soon. Currently, the Frenchman is open to talking to other clubs, with Real Madrid and Liverpool touted as the top clubs in the mix. However, there is a chance that he will extend his stay at PSG, and Al-Khelaifi has affirmed the same. While speaking to RMC Sport, the PSG President said:

"I'm not going to hide things. Of course I want Kylian to stay, that's for sure. He's the best player in the world, and the best club for Kylian is Paris. He's at the centre of everything. It's simple. I have a very good relationship with him. A great player and a great person. He spoke after the Champions Trophy match and said he had an agreement with me. He did. It is an agreement. More of a gentlemen's agreement than a signed one. There aren't too many negotiations at the moment."
