Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo says he “can’t see” star striker Kylian Mbappe leaving this summer.
The France international is out of contract at the end of the season and has been widely linked with a move to Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants tried several times to land him before the end of the transfer window, but PSG booted out all bids from the Bernabeu and held on to the World Cup winner.
And Leonardo revealed that the mega-rich Paris club were less than impressed with Madrid’s conduct.
"The fact that he's staying, that was the only thing that could happen,” the Brazilian told Canal Plus
"We never thought about doing all this without Kylian. We were not happy with the behaviour of Real Madrid
"We were clear about the offer they made. It was not enough from our point of view. It was less than what we paid.
"As for their last offer, it never arrived."
"I don't see Kylian leaving at the end of this season.
"Mbappe's relationship with PSG is deep. I don't think anyone here sees the future without him."
Meanwhile, manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted he doesn’t have a ”team” yet as he works with his stars on the training ground to try to mould them into a unit capable of winning the Champions League.
They open their campaign against FC Brugge tonight after bolstering their ranks with some big names over the summer.
Lionel Messi is as big as it gets, and he could join Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, Nuno Mendes, Danilo Pereira and Achraf Hakimi in making his Euro bow for his new club against the Belgians tonight.
"We're not a team yet. We are a club that has recruited many players this summer. There are some big names but we have to turn into a team," Pochettino said on Tuesday.
"We are a group of players who need to achieve results. There's a feeling that we're (PSG and Chelsea) the two teams to beat but Chelsea are the holders so they're the team to beat especially after strengthening their squad."
