Kylian Mbappe and Neymar are set to extend their stays at Paris Saint-Germain, according to the cub president. Nasser al-Khelaifi says “both want to stay” at the Parc des Princes despite repeatedly being linked away.

Both players have 18 months remaining on their current PSG deals, but Al-Khelafi believes they are ready to commit their futures to the Ligue 1 champions.

“We have begun to talk with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe,” he told RMC Sport. “The discussions will remain confidential but I am very confident. They both want to stay with us at PSG.”

Speaking following PSG’s Champions League win over Istanbul Basaksehir in which Neymar scored a hat-trick, he said: “I am very happy here, in Paris. I am very happy at the club, with my team-mates. The idea of leaving has not crossed my mind.”
