It's possible he could have asked them what they want the club to do regarding offers, & they are all happy to stick around 'til after the World Cup. It would make perfect sense.
They could be Champions League winners this season, win the French League next season, move wherever after the World Cup.

From my own point of view, I think we have to be in for Mbappe, if not to actually sign him, to make sure we price him out of Utd, Chelsea's reach. I'd be happy even to do a deal with Monaco allowing him to stay there. If he then does the same deal & goes to Madrid or Barca, meh, we already have GJ & Sane.
What we don't want, is another club in the Prem, signing Mbappe next season.
If he stays, imo it's a similar situation then with Sanchez & it makes it easier for us. We don't want Sanchez at rags or Chelsea (& Wenger WILL sell him to Utd if need be, no problem) & he'd be an asset to us, but if he fucks off abroad, no problem, we don't need him.
Much easier for us to deal with Sanchez, fullbacks & mids (maybe from Monaco) & big money centre backs if Mbappe stays where he is.
You think we don't need Sanchez ?
We absolutely do !
Sterling, Sane and Jesus is not enough.
Aguero doesn't fit and will almost certainly leave
Not that I want Aguero to leave but if Aguero were to leave then I'd rather go all in for an 18 year old Mbappe than a 29 year old Sanchez. Obviously I don't even consider Aguero leaving but if he were to leave I'm sure we'd receive a big fee for him so we could probably spend whatever it takes on Mbappe.

completely completely agreeI'd be perfectly happy going into next season with Sterling Sané Agüero Jesus and Roberts as attacking options.
If we get Sanchez or Mbappé instead of one of those guys, great, but if we didn't we'd still have the best attack in the country.

Liverpool might have something to say regarding that.
No. We don't need Sanchez. We probably need 'a' player but it doesn't have to be Sanchez. If he fucks off to PSG for example, we just go for someone else. What we don't want to do, is let Utd or Chelsea or even Liverpool sign him unopposed.
