When questioned about the formal letter he had sent to Paris Saint-Germain regarding his future, Kylian Mbappe responded playfully with a cheeky remark.
The uncertainty surrounding his continuation with the Ligue 1 club has made him the center of attention throughout the week.
However, Mbappe’s response to the inquiry about the infamous letter was mischievous and light-hearted.
“Honestly, I did not think I was going to offend anyone. I only sent a letter,” he began, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano. “I didn’t know a letter could kill someone. It’s just a letter. I don’t care about the reactions.”
Mbappe’s letter to PSG
As Sports Brief reported, Mbappe’s situation in France remains the headline news of the football week.
The 24-year-old striker’s current deal expires at the end of next season, with the option of another year.
This decision is believed to have frustrated the club. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old has maintained that he envisions his future with PSG in the near term, despite rumours suggesting a move to Real Madrid this summer.
However, Mbappe sent PSG a formal letter on Monday, confirming he would not be extending his deal.
