Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has ruled out the possibility of Kylian Mbappe leaving on a free transfer and claims he will never sell the forward amid the constant speculation linking him to Liverpool.
Mbappe has long been rumoured with a switch to Anfield given his current stature in world football and Jurgen Klopp's open admiration for the World Cup winner.
The forward has also been heavily linked with Real Madrid - a club Mbappe admitted he is a huge fan of.
One of the major stumbling blocks for any move for Mbappe would be the transfer fee and while Liverpool are unlikely to launch a move for the forward this summer, any club in the world would be interested in signing Mbappe on a free next year when his contract expires.
Al-Khelaifi claims PSG will not sell their prized asset and ruled out the possibility of Mbappe running his contract down to leave for nothing.
"I will be very clear: Kylian Mbappé is going to stay at PSG," he told L'Equipe .
"We will never sell him, and he will never leave for free."
PSG recently tied down Brazil superstar Neymar to a new contract and expected to seal the signing of former Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum in the coming days after hijacking a bid from Barcelona.
The club president believes contract negotiations with Mbappe will be successful and doubts he wants to leave the club.
He added: "It was not difficult to reach an agreement with Neymar. It only took so long because of the health crisis. I never had doubts.
"All I can say is that things are going well [with Mbappe]
"I hope we can reach an agreement. This is Paris, this is his country.
"He has a mission, not only to be a footballer, but to promote Ligue 1, his country and its capital."
