Kylian Mbappe Signs Contract Extension With PSG Until 2025
France international Kylian Mbappe has signed a contract extension with Paris St Germain (PSG) that will keep him tied with the Ligue 1 side until 2025, the striker announced before the club’s final match against Metz at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
Mbappe’s, whose deal was set to expire at the end of June, had been widely tipped to join Real Madrid but chose to stay in Paris.
“I always said that Paris is my home,” Mbappe said before the match where he scored a hat-trick as PSG won 5-0. “I want to win titles here and have fun together as always. Thank you.”

“I wanted to announce that I have chosen to extend my contract at Paris Saint-Germain, and I am of course very happy. I am convinced that here I can continue to grow within a club that gives itself all the means to perform at the highest level,” the 23-year-old said in a club statement.
“I am also very happy to be able to continue playing in France, the country where I was born, grew up and flourished.”
