Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has claimed Kylian Mbappe must now make a firm decision on his future.
PSG clinched the Ligue 1 title with a 1-1 draw at home to Lens tonight but focus has already shifted to what happens this summer in Paris.
Mbappe’s next move has been the focus of constant attention in recent months with the French international out of contract at the Parc des Princes in June.
Real Madrid have been heavily linked with a free transfer swoop for the Les Bleus superstar but PSG are continuing in their attempts to keep him in France.
However, with their domestic title now wrapped up, Leonardo admitted the 23-year-old faces a decisive few weeks as he edges closer to making up his mind.
“We’re always in direct contact, I think he said the truth previously, he is thinking about his future,” as per reports from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

“I think there is a possibility he stays at PSG – and also that he leaves – but Mbappe is really thinking about it now.”
Leonardo’s comments hint PSG have not given up in their quest to retain Mbappe but the former Brazilian international is aware the situation could go either way.
Los Blancos are reportedly the only realistic transfer option for Mbappe but PSG could make one final push to convince the former AS Monaco star to stay on.
