Kylian Mbappe ended speculation about his future by signing a new contract at the Parc des Princes.
What did Herrera say about Kylian Mbappe?
Spanish footballer Ander Herrera claims the Frenchman’s decision to sign a new contract with PSG shouldn’t come as a surprise as he is a Parisian boy who wants to make history. At some point, it turned out that the pursuit of a place in football folklore would take Kylian Mbappe out of his native France, and the Real Grand League would not be the secret of their interest.
The expiring deal at Parc des Princes looked like playing into the hands of Blancos, but Kylian brought intense speculation about his future to an end in May when he committed to new terms with the defending Ligue 1 champions.
Questions have been asked why Kylian chose to stay put, having already achieved exuberance in the French capital, but Ander feels that Mbappe will not consider his job at Paris Saint-Germain done until he is always the club’s leading scorer and helps to plant the elusive Champions League crown. Ander Herrera said Kylian Mbappe’s decision is in line with what he thought would happen.
According to the Spaniard, if Mbappe left, he would not be surprised, but being the greatest player in the history of the club, the best scorer of all time, managing to get him the long-awaited Champions League is a huge motivation. Herrera understands the greatness of teams like Madrid, but they have to respect a Parisian boy who wants to make history at his club.
Ander Herrera wants to stay at PSG
While Kylian will remain at Paris Saint-Germain for the foreseeable future, there have been rumors that Ander may be on his way out. The ex-Red Devils player is tied to a deal until 2024, but he faces stiff competition for spots at 32 and has seen a speculated homecoming. The Spanish midfielder is aware of the gossip but insists on none, talking about his own plans, that his family is happy and he wants to continue here.
According to Ander Herrera, they know that the press here likes to talk a lot about Paris Saint-Germain and he knows how it works. In every market his name comes out and nothing changes. Ander is happy and the idea is to stay here. They know it’s hard to make things 100% safe in football, but the idea is to keep going.
