PSG star Kylian Mbappe has claimed that he hasn't made a decision about his club future, even though there are strong rumours connecting him to a transfer to Real Madrid.
With only six months remaining on his current contract with PSG, Mbappe is now in a position to discuss potential moves with other clubs. Last summer, the France captain had announced that he wouldn't be prolonging his time with the Ligue 1 giants, resulting in his exclusion from the pre-season tour.

A resolution was reached, and Mbappe opted to stay in Paris for the season, contributing to their success in winning the French Super Cup by scoring in the 44th minute of the 2-0 victory. Real Madrid remains a formidable contender to secure the 25-year-old's signature, having come close in 2022.
Addressing reporters and as quoted by Reuters, Mbappe stated that he has not yet finalised his decision regarding his next club career move. The French captain mentioned that, in terms of the club, his decision holds little significance due to his agreement with chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
"First of all, I'm very, very, very motivated for this year. It's very important," Mbappe told reporters after PSG's 2-0 win over Toulouse in the French Super Cup final on December 3.
"As I said, we've got titles to go after and we've already won one, so that's already done. After that, no, I haven't made up my mind yet.
"But in any case, with the agreement I made with the chairman (Nasser Al-Khelaifi) this summer, it doesn't matter what I decide."
"We managed to protect all parties and preserve the club's serenity for the challenges ahead, which remains the most important thing. So we'll say it's secondary."
Mbappe has declared that he won't delay his decision on his future until May. In 2022, the French star chose to extend his contract with PSG just a few weeks before the transfer window opened.
"I think it was the end of May in 2022 because I didn't know until May," he added. "If I know what I want to do, why drag it out? It just doesn't make sense," said Mbappe.
