Kylian Mbappe has told his Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) teammates that he will not be leaving the club this summer, according to AS.
The France international, who has refused to sign a new deal with the Parc des Princes outfit, has had a change of heart about playing alongside Lionel Messi.
The 22-year-old still has a year left in his contract and he has been linked with Spanish giants Real Madrid.
And it is understood the Parisians would let him go as they plan to bring Cristiano Ronaldo in the future which would not cost them a penny as his contract runs out next year.
