Kylian Mbappe ‘cool’ on transfer future with ‘new elements’ clouding decision between PSG and Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe insists he is not feeling the pressure of the impending decision he will have to make on his transfer future.

Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are battling it out to persuade the World Cup winner to sign on with them when his contract with Les Parisiens expires in just under three months’ time.

On Sunday night, Mbappe hit his 27th and 28th goals of the season as PSG eased past Lorient to continue their dominance of the Ligue 1 title race.

Out of the Champions League and with fans turning on the club’s owners and well-paid stars such as Sergio Ramos, Mbappe did tease that “new elements” were affecting his decision.

“I haven't decided about my future yet - I'm cool,” the striker told reporters.

“I want to take my time because I don't want to get it wrong. I am thinking about it because there are new elements - lots of things, new parameters.

“[There are] a lot of parameters to take in consideration. I'm trying to figure it out with my family so I take the right decision.”
