The 21-year old World Cup winner asks his club to make smart decisions in the transfer market this summer.
The most coveted Champions League remains to be PSG’s biggest goal and Mbappe believes the club needs to recruit players to achieve that goal.
PSG won the treble last season and secured a spot in the Champions League final for the first time in the club’s history but were beaten by Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
Players like Edinson Cavani, Thiago Silva, Eric Choupo-Moting and Thomas Meunier left the club this summer. Striker Mauro Icardi and goalkeeper Sergio Rico were the only players brought in permanently by the club after the two spend last season at the club on loan.
“Of course I am optimistic that we will win the Champions League. We have to because, if we don’t believe it, no one is going to believe it for us,” the World Cup winner told Telefoot.
“It’s football and you have to get over it. Lots of teams lost a final and won the year after. Obviously, PSG grew up with this final. Before, we had this block of the quarter-finals, now we broke that.
“You have to recruit well, you have to buy players. I hope we will have good recruits and that we can restart the season with the aim of doing better.”
The French striker has been suffering through the pain of an ankle injury and is unsure whether he will start against Croatia on Tuesday.
“My ankle still hurts, but it’s going to be like that for many weeks,” he added.
“I wanted to play the Champions League final at all costs. The staff have taken care of me, it’s a matter of time now.
“I’m still getting ready to play but the coach will decide [if I can play on Tuesday]. If the coach wants me to play, it will be with great pleasure, there is nothing better than a game with your country.”
