With his future in turmoil, Kylian Mbappe has come out with a statement that might make some people argue that he is in no way loyal to Paris Saint-Germain. Moreover, they might argue that he may not be loyal to any club in the future. However, in his words, the French star has shown loyalty to winning. He explained that he wants to win and that he is never satisfied.
This speech came after he secured another win in his career. He took home the award for the best French player for the 2022/23 season awarded by L’Equipe and France’s soccer federation.
According to MARCA, Mbappe said, “Reasons to believe that this is my last season in Ligue 1? It’s very simple, I’m a competitor and, when I play, it’s to win. And, no matter who I play with, no matter my shirt I’m wearing, no matter where, no matter the year, I never settle.”

He went on to explain how he resets himself during a vacation but comes back with the same hunger.
“I go on vacation, I do a reset, I recover my energy and I come back with the hunger that everyone knows. I’m always dissatisfied, so I’m never impressed with what I do. I tell myself I can do it again and better. I have this hunger to win, I don’t want to be on a team just to participate. That’s why sometimes people think I’m arrogant.”
Mbappe made it clear that he is not afraid of failure. However, it is still doubtful if he will put on a PSG shirt in the 2023/24 season.
Kylian Mbappe allegedly set to lose huge loyalty bonus
The last time Mbappe’s future was up in the air, he signed a bumper contract with PSG and extended his stay. The bumper contract also reportedly included a loyalty bonus clause. Mbappe earns close to $65 million in September if he continues with the club. However, his stay is doubtful.
Mbappe has been linked with a move to Real Madrid for years. He has also now been linked with a sensational move to Premier League club Arsenal.

He announced that he will continue with the club next season but will not extend his contract. Something PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi will not let him do. Khelaifi has insisted that Mbappe needs to sign a contract extension or leave this summer. The French star will not be let go for free next year.
It was earlier reported that Mbappe’s mother would like her son to stay at the club so they can collect the loyalty bonus. Therefore, the next few months will decide the faith of one of the most sought-after stars in soccer.
