Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has broken his silence after signing a new three-year deal at the French club and said he is ‘happy to continue the adventure’.
The French international, whose contract was set to expire at the end of this season, snubbed Real Madrid to stay in Paris in what became one of the biggest transfer sagas in recent memory. Los Blancos had long-courted Mbappe over the past two years and saw numerous bids, the largest said to be worth €200m, rejected last summer. Madrid were confident that a deal would be agreed and reports broke earlier this week that he had agreed personal terms at the club.
However, a last ditch effort from PSG convinced Mbappe to remain at the Parc des Princes. He is set to earn an eye watering signing-on fee worth €100m and close to €1m a week in wages, making him the highest paid player on the planet. He has also reportedly set to be handed a significant influence over the club’s affairs.
