Mauricio Pochettino has talked up Paris Saint-Germain's chances of being able to retain the services of Kylian Mbappe.
The World Cup winner has just eight-and-a-half months remaining on his contract, leaving open the possibility of the forward being able to hold talks with foreign clubs in January.
Real Madrid, who failed with multiple big-money offers for Mbappe in the summer, will instigate discussions at the start of 2022 if the situation does not change.
However, Pochettino feels that the 22-year-old is capable of fulfilling his ambitions at Parc des Princes over the coming years.
In an interview with COPE and Radio Marca, the Argentine said: "Mbappe is fine, he's a calm boy with a lot of personality and a very sociable character, he is clear about things and loves football, he's very mature for 22 years old.
"Kylian will make the decision he has to make and the club will do everything possible to keep him, because we're taking about one of the best players in the world at 22.
"I'm left with the fact that the situation is open and in the future anything can happen, the position of a few months ago may change in the future, PSG as a club certainly have the ambition and ability to persuade him and offer him things so that he can stay and be happy, the possibilities that he could change his mind are there."
Mbappe has enjoyed a strong start to the season, contributing four goals and five assists from his 11 outings in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. body check tags ::
