Paris Saint-Germain striker and France international Kylian Mbappe has rejected an offer from Qatar to attend Friday’s World Cup group stage draw for this winter’s finals.
Striker Mbappe is out of contract at the Parc des Princes this summer and he has recently hinted at a move to Madrid while a recent interview suggested that he is open to leaving France. There have been suggestions that PSG are willing to make the 23-year-old their highest earning player by offering him improved terms on Lionel Messi ’s and Neymar’s respective contracts.
Mbappe has found himself caught up in politics due to his future, with French president Emmanuel Macron and former France leader Nicolas Sarkozy contacting him directly to try and persuade him to stay in the French capital, by signing a new contract and rejecting interest from Spain.
