The French champions were in danger of losing the 23-year-old for free this summer with his previous deal set to expire. Real Madrid had been tipped to sign him, but an improved contract offer from PSG restored hopes of the club holding on to him.
The France international has committed his future to the Ligue 1 champions, turning down a move to the Spanish giants. The new deal was announced on Saturday night before their match against Metz.
Mbappe upon announcing the deal said “I wanted to announce that I have chosen to extend my contract at Paris Saint-Germain, and of course, I am very happy about it,”
“I am convinced that here I can continue to grow within a club which gives itself all the means to perform at the highest level. I am also very happy to be able to continue to evolve in France, the country where I was born, grew up, and flourished.
“I would like to thank the President, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, for his confidence, his understanding, and his patience. I also have a thought for all the supporters of Paris Saint-Germain, in France and around the world, for their countless expressions of affection, especially in recent months. It is together, united and ambitious, that we will take up the most magical bets”. The contract is expected to last till 2025.
