French international, Kylian Mbappe has agreed to sign a new three-year deal to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Paris Saint Germain forward, whose current contract was due to expire on June 30, had been widely expected to leave the Ligue 1 side with a move to the La Liga champions and Champions League finalists Real Madrid imminent, before the player’s dramatic U-turn.

Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco for €180m in 2017, was ready to leave the club on a free transfer upon the expiry of his existing deal.

Although the contract is yet to be signed, reports have it that the extension is not un-connected to the Qatar World Cup later this year, where the owners of PSG have huge stakes.
