The Frenchman answered via Fabrizio Romano:
“I’ll just watch, I love football."
Mbappe's vague answer came at a time when he has widely been linked with a sensational summer move to Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old is currently without a club following his PSG departure at the end of last season.
The France international recently confirmed he would quit the French giants upon the expiry of his contract this summer.
According to Goal, Real remain the firm favourites to sign the former Monaco star.
The La Liga giants have long been chasing the forward, with a move to the Spanish capital now said to be imminent.
While Mbappe is contracted at Parc des Princess until June 30, Los Blancos are said to be keen to unveil him before then.
