Leonardo, the sports director of Paris Saint-Germain, is certain that Kylian Mbappe's contract will be extended, and he has slammed Real Madrid's attempts to recruit the French striker during the transfer season.
PSG, who face losing Mbappe for free when his current contract expires next summer, turned down Real Madrid's offer of about €160 million, thinking it too low.
Leonard told Canal Plus, "The fact that he's staying, it was the only thing that could happen."
“Never in a million years could we imagine accomplishing all of this without Kylian. We were dissatisfied with Real Madrid's actions.
“We were quite clear about their offer. From our perspective, it wasn't enough. It was less expensive than what we had paid.
“As for their previous offer, it never came.”
Mbappe has been in excellent form this season, scoring four goals in six games, and is set to play alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar in Wednesday's Champions League match at Club Brugge.
Leonardo said, "I don't see Kylian leaving at the conclusion of this season."
“Mbappe has a strong bond with PSG. No one here, I believe, sees the future without him.”
