PSG chief Al-Khelaifi refused to confirm Mbappe's exit

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi did not confirm the departure of Kylian Mbappe at the end of the season and said after his team's qualification for the Champions League quarter-finals that they are "building something for the future" of the club.

"I cannot confirm Mbappe's departure, it is always the club that communicate what is ours. Kylian is Kylian, one of the best players in the world. He is magnificent, but the whole team played well, all eleven players played well. He has a contract here, but we are building something for the future, depending on the coach and his style," he said on 'Canal+ France'.

Al-Khelaifi praised his team's performance at the Reale Arena, where they won the second leg 1-2 with a brace from star man Bondy. "We have really evolved to a very high level," said the boss, who also highlighted the youth of the squad and that they played as Luis Enrique wanted, which he considers "very good news for everyone."

"The coach decides. We are with him, that's for sure. The most important thing is the team, Paris Saint-Germain. Kylian played a great game, we are proud of him. He scored two goals, and for me he is the best in the world, but everyone played well," he added.
