Kylian Mbappe’s future remains a topic of discussion as his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in June. Despite the fact that the 23-year-old scored a late goal to give the capital club a first-leg victory, the conversation quickly shifted back to contract extensions. Gianluigi Buffon, a former Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper, spoke with Canal Plus (via Canal Supporters) about Mbappe’s future. Buffon, who spent nearly 20 years with Juventus, believes that the French footballing megastar should consider staying in Paris.
Buffon went on to say that he was never ordinary and that he didn’t need to leave Juventus for a bigger project, whether it was in the Premier League or La Liga. “For me, as I am constituted, I never wanted to be ordinary and like the others. I always thought I could do something special compared to others, something different. And if I was Mbappe… Damn, I’m at PSG!”

“They had incredible confidence in me. They pay me a lot; I’m an important player, I’m young, PSG have never won the Champions League… That’s my challenge! I will have no other objective; I stay at PSG to win the Champions League. In my opinion, Kylian must think about this,” the legendary Italian goalkeeper added.
Moreover, the former PSG goalkeeper stated that PSG must nurture Mbappe’s ego in order for him to see that he is loved and that the project revolves around him. “He must also feel loved. Players have a certain ego, and that ego needs to be nurtured. The club and the supporters must make him feel that he is important.”
Real Madrid is still a possibility, so he’ll have to choose between staying in his hometown and visiting the Spanish capital.
