If he still has not extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé will "not make traitorous blows (...)" to his club, he assures in an interview with France Football, Saturday, three days before the debut of France at the Euro.
"PSG understands my request" to take time to decide, "probably also because he knows that I will not do any sneaking or treacherous blows", assures the star of PSG and the Blues, who face the Germany Tuesday in Munich.
"Being a great player, it also proves itself outside the field where you have to know how to do things cleanly and with class", adds the top scorer in Ligue 1 in the first publication of "FF" in the form of a monthly.
PSG hope to extend its star, at the end of the contract in a year, as it did for its other beachhead, the Brazilian Neymar, who has renewed until 2025.
But the world champion is highly coveted, especially by Real Madrid.
The club "is understanding, there is no problem. I'm not crazy: I know that a project with or without me, it is not quite the same for the club", assures Mbappé.
But "I have to make the right decision, which is difficult (...). I'm in a place where I like it, where I feel good. But is it the best place for me? I do not yet have the answer, "adds the 22-year-old international (44 caps, 17 goals).
"I'm not trying to buy time. I just take the time to think things through to be sure of my final choice," said the player.
But this decision "is not a burden," insists Mbappé.
"I would almost say it serves me well. A little more than usual, I find myself in the spotlight waiting for my decision. And I like it, being in the light. All day long. , we are talking about my decision, but, on the day of the match, I want to remind you that I am a professional footballer and make you talk about my football rather than my future. "
