- He made his intentions clear during a controversial interview last month
Kylian Mbappe came off the bench to score PSG‘s second in a 2-0 pre-season friendly win over Ligue 2 side Le Havre on Friday.
Hugo Ekitike opened up the scoring with a tidy finish in the 53rd minute, after the French titans had been held at the break.
Before Mbappe met a surging pass from new signing Cher Ndour in the dying moments of the game to double PSG’s lead.
This comes at a time in which there is a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the Frenchman’s future at the Parc des Princes.
According to Defensa Central, PSG have offered Mbappe a deal worth £865.3million (€1billion) to keep him at the club for the next ten years, with Real Madrid heavily linked with the forward.

However, the 24-year-old has made it clear that he has no intention of extending his stay.
Mbappe’s contract runs out at the end of next season and PSG are keen to cash in if he doesn’t intend to stick around.
Club chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has affirmed that he will not let his star striker go for free and Mbappe has been set a deadline of the end of July to renew his contract or be put up for sale.
‘We want him to stay but he can’t leave for free,’ Al-Khelaifi said at the unveiling of new manager Luis Enrique.
Mbappe returned to training with PSG earlier this week and won’t have received the warmest of welcomes from his teammates after giving a controversial interview to France Football Magazine in June.
During the sit down, Mbappe branded PSG as a ‘divisive’ club and stated that his performances are unjustly criticised because it is much harder to impress while playing in France.
Six PSG players contacted Al-Khelaifi to complain about comments made by Mbappe in the interview, with two of the players understood to be new arrivals.
