Herrera reveals how the PSG dressing room found out about Mbappe's new contract

Ander Herrera has revealed that the Paris Saint-Germain dressing room found out about Kylian Mbappe's new contract when the rest of the world did.

Mbappe signed a new three-year deal to keep him at the Parc des Princes until 2025 and Herrera explained how the squad found out about the news.

"The PSG dressing room found out at the same time as the rest of the world," said Herrera.

"I don't know if [Mbappe] told Achraf [Hakimi] or someone close to him, but I had no idea."

Herrera stated that the players were taken by surprise when they saw the ceremony that had been planned for Mbappe's new deal.

"After lunch we started to see all the news that was coming out in Spain, friends write to you," he continued.

"We thought that something was going to be said later.

"Then, in the stadium, when he wasn't in the dressing room and there was something set up on the pitch, it surprised us.

"I think the club did it very well. Let's enjoy Kylian for the coming years."

"It has become clear that he could become the most important player in the club's history here.

"We know that we are an attractive club with a beautiful project. I would be surprised if he had left."

Di Maria's version of the Mbappe renewal

Angel di Maria brought his time at PSG to an end on Sunday night, after a successful seven-year spell with the Parisian club.

He also spoke about Mbappe's decision and hinted that he could move to Real Madrid in the future.

"I believe that [Mbappe] has made an important decision and one that I feel is correct," said Di Maria.

"He is still young and he has time to go to Real Madrid. He has time to go wherever he wants, as he has only signed for three more years and he will be 26 [when his contract expires].

"He has so much ahead of him. He enjoys making history and he will keep doing it here, he is close to 200 goals."
