Despite only joining the Ligue 1 leaders this season the France international continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe has suggested that he may not be at Paris Saint-Germain for the long haul, admitting he does not know where he will be playing his football in two years’ time.

Mbappe is expected to be a key figure for France at the 2018 World Cup and, having ascended from obscurity in such a short space of time, he cannot begin to fathom what comes next.

“I had some plans for my career, but since nothing has happened as planned an I’m already doing better than I imagined a few months ago, it’s difficult to project,” he told France Football .

“Where will I be in two years? Frankly, I don’t know.”

There is no uncertainty about Mbappe’s plans when he hangs up his boots, though. The attacker is already looking forward to a career in coaching.

“At the end of my career I’m sure I’ll end up in the dugout,” he said.

“I think it would be too hard and brutal to stop overnight.

“I already have my little plans in my head. I would like to start coaching in clubs where I played, like Monaco or Paris.”
