Teenage talent Kylian Mbappe will still be a
Monaco player next season, according to the
club's former star Ludovic Giuly.
France international Mbappe has enjoyed a
breakout season, scoring 22 goals - including five
in four Champions League knockout games - and
has reportedly attracted interest from a number of
top sides.
But Giuly, who had two spells at Monaco, reaching
the final of Europe's elite competition in 2004, has
called for the hype around Mbappe to be calmed
ahead of a second full senior campaign.
"[Mbappe] has a contract with Monaco and he is
going to be here for another year," Giuly said.
"There has to be complete calmness with him. He
has a lot of talent and we are happy with him."
Giuly was speaking after Monaco were paired with
Serie A giants Juventus in the last four, and
is predicting a tough test for the "smallest team" in
the tournament.
"Juventus are a very difficult opponent, but all of
the teams left in the semi-finals are massive
teams," he said.
"We are the smallest team, but we will fight in the
two games. We are very happy. They have a great
team, and we have no experience, but we will see
how it goes."
