  • Kylian Mbappe refused to answer questions about where he would be playing football next season
  • Mbappe's contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of the current 2023/24 season

Kylian Mbappe is tired of the speculation over his future.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid, as his contract in France expires at the end of the season.

While it’s no secret that Los Blancos are front runners for his signature, PSG hopes he stays.

The French captain has the option of a one-year extension on his contract with PSG if he chooses to activate it.

While speculation continues over his future, one journalist tried to get an answer directly from the player, but Mbappe wasn’t having it.

As noted by The Mirror, Mbappe refused to answer the question about his future, instead focusing on his duties to the French national team.

“It’s something I don’t want to talk about. I want us to talk more about the national team rather than me talking about something that will be resolved one day, so there will be time to talk about that,” he said.

Madrid’s advances rejected before

Should Mbappe become a free agent, it would be Madrid’s best chance to sign the superstar.

They have previously made offers to PSG for the player but have been rejected. Goal reported that Los Blancos even bid €220 million for the superstar, but it wasn’t enough to tempt the French side.

Madrid aren’t the only team interested

A player of Mbappe’s stature isn’t going to be wanted by just one side.

Numerous teams are monitoring the player’s status as they hope to cash in on a potential free transfer.

Mbappe sets record in win vs. Gibraltar

Sports Brief recently reported on Mbappe setting a record that neither Messi nor Ronaldo did before turning 25.

That feat is reaching the 300-goal mark, which the Paris Saint-Germain star reached at the age of just 24.

The Frenchman joined that club after hitting a hat-trick in France's Euro qualifying game against Gibraltar.
