The mother of Kylian Mbappe says he wants to leave PSG to fulfill his ambitions.

Mbappe has declared this week that he was blocked by PSG from leaving for Real Madrid over the summer.

The striker's mother, Fayza Lamari, told Le Parisian: "This is 'already' his fifth season in Paris. He took time to think, because he also had the possibility of prolonging, it is always possible besides, because nobody can claim to know the future. If he asked to leave, it is because his time is up.

"We did not want to go free so we wanted to bring his departure forward by one year so that the club could receive compensation. We cannot then be reproached for leaving for free. But I understand that PSG want to keep Kylian.

"I do not forget also that his transfer from Monaco to PSG in 2017 was made for 145 million euros and it was Nasser (Al-Khelaïfi, president of PSG) who had made it possible to raise the Parisian proposal to 180 million euros on August 31.

"I also understand that the supporters are not happy. But he has dreams."
