Kylian Mbappe scored a stoppage-time winner for PSG in Tuesday night's Champions League last 16 first-leg against Real Madrid at the Parc des Princes; After the game, he said his future remains up in the air as he waits to make a decision on his next club amid interest from Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe says he is undecided about his future as he enters the final five months of his Paris Saint-Germain contract. Sky Sports assesses what his next step might be.
Mbappe, 23, scored a stoppage-time winner for the French club in Tuesday night's Champions League last 16 first-leg against Real Madrid at the Parc des Princes, in a game that was billed as his audition for Los Blancos.
Real are favorites to sign him on a free transfer in the summer after PSG rejected their £135m bid for the forward last August, despite him being in the final 12 months of his contract.
But when Mbappe faced the inevitable questions on his future after Tuesday night's game, he insisted he was biding his time before making a call on whether to remain in Paris or leave in the summer.
"No, I've not decided," he replied. "I give my best, and then we will see what happens next season."
"How to ignore the (transfer) context? It's easy, you have to play football," Mbappe told broadcaster Canal Plus.
Ancelotti: Mbappe is the best player in Europe
Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti did little to hide his admiration for Mbappe after the Frenchman secured the victory for PSG on Tuesday night, giving them a one-goal lead heading into the second leg.
"Mbappe is the best player in European football," Ancelotti said.
"Mbappe is unstoppable, we have tried to control him. Eder Militao has done very well, but he is a player who always invents something."
Before the game, Real striker Karim Benzema angered PSG fans with his comments on Mbappe, openly discussing the possibility of his France team-mate joining him in Madrid.
"Playing against Kylian is special because we play in the national side together," said Benzema. "Everyone knows that one day he could arrive at Madrid, but the most important thing is to play this game first and win it."
