According to L'Equipe, Paris Saint-Germain has offered Kylian Mbappe the captaincy to entice him to stay at the club.

The Parisians are desperate to maintain Mbappe by extending his contract and presenting him with the captain's armband.

As PSG seeks to demonstrate the value of the prolific attacker, the kid will skipper the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr.

The France international's future has been up in the air all season, with numerous rumours in Europe claiming that when his contract ends on June 30, 2022, he will join Spanish football giant Real Madrid.

However, according to L'Equipe, the PSG board has discussed the prospect of designating the player captain in a last-ditch effort to persuade him to sign a new contract.

Following his dismal performance during PSG's Champions League loss to Real Madrid, Marquinhos' role as the club's captain has come under scrutiny.

Mbappe, who is from the capital, would be an excellent choice to lead the team as captain.
