Mbappé, who sat down exclusively with CBS Sports, says he's aware of fierce criticism from Spain
PARIS -- Fresh off signing his new contract at Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé told CBS Sports exclusively on Monday that he decided to stay in France last week and that his announcement over the weekend was part of the whirlwind which has followed him finally making up his mind in the face of strong interest from Real Madrid.
"My decision was last week," the 23-year-old French international said. "I was sure of it. Then, the other things came fast. The presentation at Parc des Princes, scoring a hat trick, winning the league and all those things. This week, the press conference with you guys and now I am here."
