Indeed, PSG ignored a €200m bid for the player last summer and then fended off strong interest from the Bernabeu side to keep him.
Before Saturday’s final Ligue 1 match of the season against Metz, PSG confirmed the news that all their supporters had been waiting for – and those of Real Madrid had feared.
What did Mbappe say?
Mbappe also said: "I’m really happy to continue the adventure here at Paris Saint-Germain. To stay in Paris, my city.
“I hope that I will continue to do what I prefer to with you all… and win titles together! Thanks a lot”.
Mbappe signed for PSG from Monaco in a €180m deal in 2017, joining the same summer as Neymar, who transferred for a world record €222m.
He has won four Ligue 1 titles during his time at the club, as well as the World Cup for the France national team.
