Earlier this year, PSG turned down multiple bids from Real
Madrid for the 23-year-old, who can leave as a free agent at the
end of the season when his contract expires.
Mbappe is free to negotiate with Real and other clubs next month
but said he was focused on beating the Spanish side when they
face off in the Champions League last 16 in February.
"I'll give everything I have to win the Champions League, the
league and cup. And to give all the pleasure to the fans because
they deserve it," Mbappe told CNN, adding he did not regret
telling PSG in July that he wanted to leave.
"I was honest. I gave a feeling, I gave what I have in my
heart," he said, adding, "I'm happy to stay."
Mbappe said he enjoyed working with Argentina striker Lionel
Messi, who joined from Barcelona in August.
"It's a big pleasure for me to say to my kids, my friends, I
play with him," he said. "We have to enjoy seeing him in
Paris... It's an amazing moment in the history of the game."
