AS MONACO WANTS MBAPPE STAY

Newly crowned French Ligue 1 champions, Monaco are desperate to keep in-demand forward Kylian Mbappe for at least another season.

Mbappe, 18, is certain to be the subject of interest from Europe's biggest clubs after a breakout campaign during which he scored 26 goals in all competitions.

Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool are among those to have already been linked to the France international.

But Chief Executive Vadim Vasilyev  said Monaco were eager for Mbappe to stay at least another campaign with the Ligue 1 champions.

Vasilyev said plans were in place to offer Mbappe – who has a deal until mid-2019 – a contract extension.

He is also ready to reject multiple bids for a player who struck six goals in nine Champions League games this season.
