," his coach Mauricio Pochettino said on Friday.

By committing to Paris for the long term, the native of Bondy (23) could beat Edinson Cavani's record (200 goals) and thus become the top scorer in the history of the club.

PSG, owned by the Qatari fund QSI, would have made a financial golden bridge to retain Mbappé, who would become the new headliner of his project, ahead of Neymar and Lionel Messi.

Mbappé's entourage, contacted in the middle of the afternoon, did not wish to react to press information, pending a communication from PSG.
