KYLIAN MBAPPE has refused to rule out staying at Paris Saint-German.
The French forward, 22, has made no secret of his dream to play for Real Madrid.
Madrid launched two huge bids last summer to land the Frenchman.
But after they were turned down by PSG, they may now get their No1 target for nothing.
With his contract set to expire in June, Los Blancos president Florentino Perez will soon try to secure his signature.
The LaLiga giants will be eligible to open formal negotiations with Mbappe on January 1.
However, despite many believing it is almost a foregone conclusion that the striker will be at the Bernabeu now season, he has not ruled out penning an extension at Parc des Princes.
He told Amazon Prime: “I don’t know. Today I have to take the time. It is not easy. Either way, I’ll be playing for a big club.

“At first I was disappointed [not to leave]. But well, I am not in the third division, I am in a club that wants to win the Champions League.
“I am Parisian, I have my family, I feel good, I have always said it. I just wanted to discover something else.”
PSG bought Mbappe’s childhood hero Lionel Messi to the club last summer to form a dream attacking trio with Neymar.
But despite being top of Ligue 1, Mbappe admits the three have failed to live up to the hype so far and says they can improve.
He said: “We’re aware that we need to do more. When you have three players of that level, you can’t hide from it.
“We need to do the things that keep us together as a collective. We each have to do our bit.”
And when asked if he is the ‘boss’ at PSG, Mbappe added: “It’s difficult. When you play with Neymar and Messi, it’s cheeky to call yourself the boss.
“Now, I’m in a good spell, the team is doing well. We really don’t care about who the boss is. The goal is to put all three of us in the right conditions because we’re game-changers. It’s better that way.”
