Mbappe has reportedly been linked with a sensational return to Ligue 1 in the future.
Paris FC have categorically ruled out any plans to pursue Kylian Mbappé, despite recent speculation linking the Real Madrid forward with a sensational return to Ligue 1.
Speaking to L’Équipe, Michel Denisot, who joined the Paris FC board of directors in December, dismissed the idea that the club who recently secured promotion to Ligue 1 — would attempt to lure Mbappé back to the French capital.
Denisot made it clear that the club’s strategy is rooted in nurturing and showcasing Parisian talent, rather than signing global superstars.

“The idea is not to bring Mbappé back to Paris,” Denisot told L’Équipe.
“The idea is rather to build a team of players coming, as much as possible, from the Paris region.”
The remarks come amid swirling rumours that Mbappé, now in Spain, could one day seek a return to his home city, though not necessarily to former club Paris Saint-Germain.

Since his high-profile free transfer to Real Madrid last summer, the 26-year-old has made a blistering start to life in La Liga.
Mbappé has already netted 24 league goals, just one behind Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski, who currently tops the scoring charts.

He is just two goals short of the record for most goals scored by a player in their debut season at the Spanish club, a record he could surpass this Sunday when Real Madrid face Barcelona in a potential title decider at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Mbappé, who spent seven prolific seasons at PSG and remains their all-time top scorer with 256 goals in 308 appearances, appears firmly focused on his Spanish adventure.
