Kylian Mbappe is set to see out his contract and remain at Paris Saint-Germain until 2022, according to Sport.
The Frenchman’s future has been a big talking point of late, with Liverpool and Real Madrid continually linked with signing him.
Leaving this summer would allow PSG to earn to a monumental fee for Mbappe, with the 22-year-old reluctant to sign a new deal at the Ligue 1 champions.
It is now being claimed that he will simply leave on a free transfer at the end of next season, however, before heading elsewhere.

This is an undoubted blow for Liverpool, who may have been second-favourites behind Madrid to sign Mbappe, but have still seemingly been eyeing him up.
It means Jurgen Klopp may now have to look elsewhere to make attacking reinforcements, with a big new signing required to freshen things up.
The hope is that Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all stay – Diogo Jota is also a great option – but providing even more top class competition can only be a good thing.
It may be that a cheaper alternative to Mbappe comes in, with Leeds United star Raphinha star recently linked with a switch to Anfield, but it would be an error not to bring in anybody.
