The Frenchman found the net for the second consecutive game for PSG, demonstrating precisely why the Ligue 1 champions remain so eager to retain him.

In his full return from temporary absence, Mbappe scored the second and third goals in a comprehensive victory as his team triumphed over one of their primary title rivals, Lens, GOAL reports.

Despite the Frenchman's consistent on-field excellence, questions linger about his future with the club, where he has become the all-time leading goal scorer during his six-year tenure.

Speculation throughout this summer has linked the 24-year-old with a possible move to Real Madrid - a club he ditched to stay with PSG by extending his contract two seasons ago.

Nonetheless, contradictory reports suggest that he may indeed agree to a contract extension, particularly as his current contract is set to expire next summer, per Eurosport.

Reacting to this, goalkeeper Donnarumma firmly believes in the latter possibility, affirming that Mbappe will not depart from the club this summer.

Speaking after PSG's triumph over Lens, the Italy international said, as quoted by Daily Post:

“It is a pleasure to play with Kylian. He is fantastic. Is he going to stay? Yes, yes, sure, sure.”

Ancelotti ends Mbappe's Madrid dreams

Sports Brief also reported on rumours of Real Madrid making a last-minute bid for Mbappe resurfacing after reports stating he has rejected a contract extension offer from the Ligue 1 giants.

However, when asked about Vinicius Junior's injury and the possibility of Los Blancos acquiring another forward, Carlo Ancelotti dismissed such speculation and said that was not the plan.

The manager of Real Madrid made an emphatic statement that would likely come as a setback for Mbappe, who is purportedly banking on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium next term.

PSG boss heaps praise on Mbappe

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on PSG manager, Luis Enrique praising Kylian Mbappe following the latter's inspired performance for the Parisians.

The Spaniard is happy that he can now count on the forward, with the 2018 World Cup winner helping PSG register their first win of the season.
