World champion Kylian Mbappé confirmed, Tuesday, July 21, that he would evolve "whatever happens" at PSG next season, removing the last doubts that may still exist on the pursuit of his career in the capital.
"I'm here. I'm in the project for a fourth year," said the Parisian scorer at the microphone of BeIn Sport, at half-time in the friendly match against Celtic Glasgow (4-0) played at the Parc des Princes.
"The fifty years of the club is an important year in the eyes of the club, the supporters, everyone, so I will be there no matter what," continued Kylian Mbappé, 21, arrived at PSG in 2017 from AS Monaco.

"I remember the last time I played Maracana with Fluminense, it was the same, it's difficult on the last day", he confided to the microphone of beIN Sports, after going to greet at the end of match the Parisian kop, who unfurled a banner and sang in his honor during the meeting.
"But it's not over yet," he warned. "We still have a lot of things to do, three cups to go and get, that's why we have to keep working. I hope I can come out with a reward, that's my goal."
