Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe says that his family will be central to any decisions made over his future, with Liverpool and Real Madrid reportedly interested.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has affirmed that he will consult with his family before making any decisions on his future.

The 21-year-old, who recently hit the 100-goal mark for the Ligue 1 champions, has been strongly linked with Real Madrid and Liverpool in recent weeks, with Mbappe now in the final 18 months of his PSG deal.

The Parisiens' sporting director Leonardo has confirmed that talks are underway with regards to an extension, and Mbappe has now revealed that he would not determine his next career move without speaking to those closest to him first.

Speaking to COPA90, the prolific frontman said: "We make every decision together, as a family. I think it's the strongest possible thing. This has pushed me higher and allowed me to be where I am today.

"Without them, it would be impossible, because sometimes you have bad moments. When you have bad moments in your career, you can see which people are there for you, and my parents are there for me every time.

"Without them, I don't think I would have everything I do at the moment. They show me the right way to be and I'm really lucky to have these parents."

Mbappe has amassed 12 goals and eight assists in all competitions for PSG this term, with the French champions facing a crunch match against Lyon on Sunday evening.
