The Kylian Mbappe transfer saga came to a conclusion on Saturday amid confirmation the Paris Saint-Germain forward had snubbed a move to Real Madrid in favour of signing a three-year contract extension at the Ligue 1 club.

"I would like to announce that I have chosen to extend my contract at Paris Saint-Germain, and of course I am delighted," Mbappe said in a statement.

I am convinced that here I can continue to grow at a club that provides everything necessary to perform at the highest level.

I am also delighted to continue to play in France, the country where I was born, where I have grown up and where I have made my name.
