Kylian Mbappe said he can’t wait to sign with a new club after his Paris-Saint Germain exit. The French international is close to signing a new contract with Real Madrid but he is keeping his cards close to his chest as he is yet to reveal where he would play next.
The France striker played seven years for the Parisians and he is now all set to join a new club.
“It’s going to be an amazing experience and I can’t wait to be in my new club,” Mbappé told CNN Sport. “I will leave my country [for another league] for the first time.
“I want to win trophies… When you speak about football, [it’s about] winning trophies, being with new teammates. Now, I have my contract with PSG … Everybody knows that it’s soon finishing and we’re going to see what happens.”
Two years ago, Mbappe was close to signing a contract with Real Madrid but decided to stay at PSG by extending his deal and he doesn’t have any regret about it.
“It was more than just staying at PSG,” he said. “It was the World Cup in Qatar. It was many things around these things. It was a big decision, difficult decision … but I don’t regret anything.
“Of course, in a career, you have to take difficult decisions and it’s what I did, but I became the all-time top scorer with PSG. I just want to remember the best things … It was not an easy situation and I wish nobody to live that.”
Mbappe said he won’t be cheering for Real Madrid in the UCL final against Borussia Dortmund but will watch as a neutral football fan.
“No. I’ll just watch the final like you. When you love football, you watch every game. I watch every game when I can … in France, England, Spain, Germany, Italy, every league. So, of course, I’m going to watch the Champions League.”
Mbappe said he wants to keep improving as a player and write his name in the game’s history.
“I have a lot of things to give to football,” Mbappé said. “I’ve done many things, but I’m still young and I want to do more … I want to put my name in the history of football.
“I just watch what I have in the future, and I want to really improve my game, to be a better player every year and to be the player who I want to be.”
