PSG star confirms Kylian Mbappe’s next destination with just 4 words

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made a resounding statement when questioned about the future of his teammate Kylian Mbappe.

Mbappe showcased his brilliance in his first start of the season, effectively putting behind the summer's uncertainty surrounding his future.

The Frenchman found the net for the second consecutive game for PSG, demonstrating precisely why the French champions were eager to retain him.

In his full return from temporary absence, the forward scored twice, securing the second and third goals in a comprehensive PSG victory as they triumphed over one of their primary title rivals, Lens, GOAL reports.

Despite Mbappe's consistent on-field excellence, questions linger about his future with the club, where he has become the all-time leading goal scorer during his six-year tenure.

Speculation throughout this summer has linked the 24-year-old to a possible move to Real Madrid, a club he ditched to stay with PSG by extending his contract two seasons ago.

Nonetheless, contradictory reports suggest that he may indeed agree to a contract extension, particularly as his current contract is set to expire next summer, per Eurosport.

Reacting to this, goalkeeper Donnarumma firmly believes in the latter possibility, affirming that Kylian will not depart from the club this summer.

Speaking after PSG's triumph over Lens, the Italy international said as quoted by Daily Post: “It is a pleasure to play with Kylian. He is fantastic. Is he going to stay? Yes, yes, sure, sure.”
