His last interview?
I have seen some extracts from it, I still have the feeling that the situation is open and that anything can happen in the future.
He said what his position was a few months ago and it may change in the future.
The club have the hope and the capacity to woo him and offer him tools and things to make him happy here and have fun playing football.
Afterwards, the decision to accept is up to him ”.
Despite Kylian Mbappé's categorical refusal to extend at PSG, the former Argentina international gives blind confidence to the 22-year-old player to remain professional until the end, while hoping for a change of position from his striker.
“
He is under contract until June 30, 2022 and it is possible that, until then, he could change his mind.
I have no doubts about his professionalism and I know that until the last day, whether it's June 30, 2022 or in 5 years or 10 years, he will be 100% professional.
(...) We will see over time, I have no doubts.
There are no absolute truths.
From my experience with him, I seem to have my head on my shoulders to manage this kind of situation.
We cannot predict what may happen but he is armed for any challenge ”.

“
He is good, calm, he has a lot of personality, he is very sociable, he knows what he wants and he loves football.
He is only 22 years old but he is very mature.
I enjoy being with him.
He is currently at the level of Messi and Cristiano, it's a chance to have him here with Neymar and Leo (Messi), it's a huge satisfaction to see the three of them together every day in training.
Kylian is one of the great talents, it's the present and the future.
He has a good relationship with all of his partners.
He quickly gets along well with everyone and has the respect and admiration of his teammates ”.
