Kylian Mbappe is relaxed and not unsettled despite ongoing speculation about his future, PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino insisted on Thursday.

"Kylian is relaxed, he is our player and I don't see him being anywhere else this season," Pochettino told reporters at a press conference ahead of PSG's Ligue 1 game against Brest on Friday.

Mbappe, 22, has just a year left on his contract in Paris and has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, with the speculation intensifying since the arrival of Lionel Messi in the French capital.

"This period is part of football," Pochettino said. "Lots of things are said and I know from experience that some things happen and others don't. Kylian is preparing for tomorrow's game. The only conversations I have with Kylian are about football. He has a year left on his contract, if he doesn't renew it. We are happy with him and from what I see he is happy with us too."
