PSG chief risks upsetting Lionel Messi with U-turn at Kylian Mbappe press conference

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has risked upsetting Lionel Messi with his latest comments at Kylian Mbappe’s press conference on Monday.

Mbappe has opted to sign a three-year contract extension with the Ligue 1 champions, keeping him in the French capital until 2025. It means he will not be joining Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, as many had expected.

It comes less than a year after the French club rejected a world record transfer offer from Los Blancos for the striker, whose contract at the Parc des Princes expires on 30 June. Last week the striker said that the decision on his future will be announced "in a matter of days" and it subsequently brought an end to a long-running saga.
