Christophe Galtier has claimed that he ‘does not need to convince Kylian Mbappe’ to stay at the club, despite strong suggestions that the French winger could move to Real Madrid.
The 24-year-old, who played the full 90 minutes of that last-16 clash, has reportedly been a target for the Galacticos for some time now, with reports suggesting last September that Mbappe had left the door ‘wide open’ for Real to come and get him.
Yet, the PSG boss believes that Mbappe doesn’t need any persuading to stay at the club, with the World Cup winner’s contract set to run to 2025.

And despite failing to help his side qualify for the quarter-finals, Mbappe seems to remain a long-standing target for Real Madrid, despite having snubbed the Spanish giants last summer signing a new three-year deal with the Parisians.
But questions are starting to bubble over his future at the Parc des Princes, as well as the futures of his teammates Messi and Neymar, with reports suggesting that Galtier could only be left with one of his star-studded front three come the end of the season.
Those reports claim, that a ‘fractious mess’ is beginning to build at the club, who could be set to enter a transitionary period following their disappointing exit from the Champions League, while the PSG boss himself could depart too.
Messi, meanwhile, will become a free agent this summer, and while PSG are remaining optimistic about retaining their World Cup winner, he is being linked with a move away from the club with a sensational move to MLS side Inter Miami being touted.

Sergio Ramos is another player whose contract is up at the end of the season, and speaking on the pair, Galtier seemed relaxed about their current situations.
‘No, there is no doubt that these two [Messi and Ramos] are great players, with an incredible record of achievements, are capable of dealing with this kind of situation,’ the said.
