With the extension of Kylian Mbappé, Paris Saint Germain (PSG) keeps "the best player in the world", celebrated PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, speaking of a "great day" for PSG.
"This choice is a very strong signal, we keep the best player in the world," said the leader at the start of a highly anticipated press conference, two days after the announcement of the contract extension with the player until 2025.
"Today is a great day for Paris SG, for our fans in France and around the world: Kylian stays at PSG for the next three seasons, it's important for us and for Ligue 1," he emphasized.
Mbappé praises Ángel Di María
"He is a club legend. I am delighted to play with him for five years. What I have to say to him is thank you very much and good luck," emphasized Mbappé, who spoke about a possible captaincy at PSG.
"Afterwards, regarding the project, there is no need to talk about responsibility to develop in a project. I have already been captain, it was a very important day for the project. Marquinhos, the captain, deserves his captain's armband," said Mbappé, who rejected Real Madrid's offer to continue at PSG for three more seasons.
