Kylian Mbappe insists he will not be “forced” to go anywhere this summer.

The Monaco striker is one of Europe’s hottest properties, having taken both Ligue 1 and the Champions League by storm this season.

Liverpool are among the clubs interested in signing the 18-year-old, though last week’s reports of a 75m Euros bid were premature.

And speaking to beIN SPORTS about his future, Mbappe said: “I will make a choice based on my sporting career, and my career is first and foremost. I am at an age where I need to play, and that will be paramount.

“I’m not 35 or 36, an age where I have to manage [my body]. I still have everything to learn - this year was discovery, and now comes the most important step: confirmation.

“I will be the sole decision-maker, and I will not go anywhere where I will be forced to go.”

The likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United, among others, have also been linked with a move for the 26-goal forward.

Speaking about his campaign as a whole, Mbappe added: “In football, everything is possible from the moment you work and you believe in your qualities.

“I always believed in myself. It wasn’t enough to want to - you have to give yourself the means. I didn’t know it was going to happen so fast, but I knew I wanted to do it.”
