PSG make Kylian Mbappe statement hinting at transfer U-turn amid Liverpool rumours

Paris Saint Germain sporting director Leonardo believes Kylian Mbappe has been carefully thinking about his future amid claims the French side have offered a lucrative new contract.

The 23-year-old will be a free agent once his contract expires at PSG in the summer and Real Madrid are favourites to land the superstar.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for the Frenchman, but are expected to be priced out of a deal due to the high finances involved.

There have been reports of tension in the PSG dressing room with Mbappe and his fellow forwards, but Leonardo insists relations are good between Mbappe and Lionel Messi.

The PSG boss told L'Equipe: "We are not sellers, that changes the spirit. Now, I think Kylian has really thought things through.

"The feeling we had on Saturday at the stadium was magnificent. Something is being created, not just for him.

"I'm not here to be cheesy but other clubs don't have ultras like that. It can weigh on you. It's a feeling, made up of an accumulation of little things. It's up to us to understand it and to know what it needs at any given moment.

"When you come to a team with maybe the best player in history [Messi], Neymar and him, you can say: who is first, second, etc.? But there is a harmony, a respect between them."
