And the World Cup-winning striker hints any decision to leave PSG may require the backing of both his parents who he praised for supporting him in difficult moments.
Mbappe told COPA90: “We make every decision together, as a family. I think it’s the strongest possible thing.
“This has pushed me higher and allowed me to be where I am today.
“Without them, it would be impossible, because sometimes you have bad moments. When you have bad moments in your career, you can see which people are there for you, and my parents are there for me every time.
“Without them, I don’t think I would have everything I do at the moment. They show me the right way to be and I’m really lucky to have these parents.”
