Mauricio Pochettino, the coach of the Paris Saint-Germain football player, said that he still hopes that the striker Kylian Mbappe will agree to a new long-term contract.
Mbappe’s contract with PSG expires at the end of the season and he is already free to negotiate with other clubs.
PSG has been trying for several months to persuade Mbappe to stay, but no agreement has been reached yet.
And the Spanish club Real Madrid is the favorite to secure his signature.
“The club knows his situation and our wish is for him to stay for a few more years,” Pochettino said at a press conference before the French Cup match against third division side Van.
Pochettino also stated that he does not believe that Mbappe will be influenced by speculations about his future.
“Such a situation can affect you if you are not mature enough. Kylian has the necessary maturity, so that is not a problem “, said the coach of PSG Pochettino.
Kylian Mbappe (23) has scored 15 goals in 24 games in all competitions for PSG this season.
