Mbappe, named the Best Young Player at the World Cup after France's 4-2 victory over Croatia in the final, was asked following the game if he would stay at the club, which he formally joined on July 1 following a season on loan from Monaco.
"Of course," Mbappe said. "One hundred percent."
The 19-year-old finished with four goals in the tournament and became the youngest player to score in the final since Pele did so in 1958.
"Only the second teenager to have scored a goal in a World Cup final!," Pele said. "Welcome to the club, Kylian Mbappe -- it is great to have some company! If Kylian keeps equalling my records like this, I may have to dust my boots off again..."
Reports indicated earlier this month that Mbappe was set to move to Madrid on a record €272 million deal, forcing Madrid to deny interest in the forward.
"Only the second teenager to have scored a goal in a World Cup final!," Pele said. "Welcome to the club, Kylian Mbappe -- it is great to have some company! If Kylian keeps equalling my records like this, I may have to dust my boots off again..."
Good news! PSG's Kylian Mbappe says he is hundred percent staying at the club
