Henry hopes Mbappe stays at PSG amid Real Madrid links

Kylian Mbappe has been heavily linked with a

away from PSG in recent months. The French star, whose current PSG deal expires next year, is yet to renew his contract at Parc des Princes, with reports claiming he is interested in a move to Real Madrid.

There have been reports about Mbappe’s lack of commitment to PSG’s project, but

Thierry Henry

believes the Frenchman’s transfer situation is normal and should not be over-exaggerated.

The Arsenal legend told

:

"I don't know what is happening with Kylian Mbappe.

"We can always speculate and say a lot of things. Me, what I see is that he is still there, that he is training, he is walking, he is running and he is trying to create chances for his team-mates.

"He scores, I know that well. He is a player who is also honouring his contract, he is doing nothing bad and he is responding on the pitch, so be happy.

"Like I often say, with an exceptional player we are always looking for the little things wrong. I hope that he will stay at PSG, I hope that he will be good and we will see after for what the future will bring him because it is normal to evaluate things.

"But is he lacking in respect towards someone? No, I have not yet seen that. He is there, he is present and he is even playing well."

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is confident that Mbappe will renew his contract at PSG. The Qatari businessman spoke about the 22-year-old’s situation after Lionel Messi’s unveiling earlier this month.

"His future is clear. He said it himself, he wanted us to have a competitive team,”

Al-Khelaifi said.

"Well, we have the most competitive in the world right now. So there is no excuse for him now. He can't do anything else but stay."
