French World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe brushed aside questions about his future at Paris Saint-Germain when he said “it’s not the time to make waves” over contract talks.
The 21-year-old striker, long linked with a move to Real Madrid, insisted his mind was only on helping PSG defend their Ligue 1 title and chase an elusive Champions League triumph.
“For now, I am ready to play football,” Mbappe said after scoring in his team’s 6-1 rout of St Etienne
“It is January, it’s the start of the final sprint where there are titles to play for. Therefore it’s not the moment to make waves.” Mbappe has a deal at PSG which runs until 2022.
“The club is calm and serene, everyone is pulling in the same direction, so talking about things that are off the pitch is not very realistic and not very beneficial for the team,” added Mbappe who now has 19 goals for the season.
