Kylian Mbappé says he has not made a decision about where he will play next season. The 23-year-old is a free agent this summer, and is widely expected to leave PSG.
Mbappé, who joined PSG from Monaco in the summer of 2018, was the hero for the French club on Tuesday night. In the 94th minute of the Champions League last-16 tie with Real Madrid - the club with which Mbappé has been regularly linked - a moment of genius from the forward won the game.
After receiving a backheeled pass from Neymar, Mbappé darted between Lucas Vazquez and Eder Militao, and side-footed the ball past Thibaut Courtois.

"I've not decided my future," Mbappé said after the game.
"I play for Paris Saint Germain, one of the best clubs in the world."
Asked if Tuesday's result, and the ecstatic celebrations by PSG fans which followed would affect his decision, Mbappé said: "No, I've not decided. I give my best and then we will see what happens next season."
PSG reportedly turned down a €200 million offer from Real Madrid for Mbappé last summer.
"How to ignore the [transfer] context? It’s easy, you have to play football,” he said on Tuesday night about the speculation regarding his future.
"We ask too many questions, we say too many things. We talk about PSG and Real, two big clubs. I’m a PSG player, I’m always very happy."
Mbappé added that PSG "had been in the right tempo for the whole game, trying to work hard offensively and defensively".
"It's all about details," he replied when asked why he had not scored before the 94th minute.
"I made a lot of runs, I stayed focused to make sure I could score that goal, and be ready for the return leg.
"The game at the Bernabéu will be different. Hopefully, we can go there, win it and qualify."
