French champions Paris Saint-Germain "are never going to sell" forwards Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, according to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Al-Khelaifi spoke after both Neymar and Mbappe set up the goals that helped PSG reach the semi-finals of the Champions League following a dramatic 2-1 victory over Atalanta BC on Wednesday night.
Mbappe, who is valued at around £200m, is now unlikely to leave for either Liverpool or Real Madrid while Neymar, who has been linked with a potential return to Barcelona, is also unlikely to depart just over three years after leaving the Catalan club in 2017 for a world-record £200m.
Both players are under contract at PSG until 2022, and the club's president has said that the pair will receive handsome offers to commit their futures to the Ligue 1 champions.

"Neymar and Kylian are among the best players in the world," Al-Khelaifi told RMC Sport after Wednesday night's victory.
"We want them to extend, yes of course. We are never going to sell them. They will stay, I'm sure."
