Real Madrid have released a statement denying a deal has been agreed with Paris Saint-Germain for teen sensation Kylian Mbappe.
The 19-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Madrid 12 months ago before leaving Monaco to join PSG on an initial season-long loan deal.
PSG have since made Mbappe the second most expensive player of all-time but Madrid are still understood to be monitoring his future in France.
With Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly closing in on a sensational switch to Juventus, Real Madrid will be forced to go big in the transfer market this summer.
The European champions have already taken the unusual step to deny a deal is in place to sign Neymar from PSG and now Madrid have done the same regarding Mbappe.
“Given the information published in the last few hours regarding an alleged agreement between Real Madrid and PSG for the player Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid would like to state that it is completely false,” a statement read on Madrid’s official website.
“Real Madrid has not made any offer to PSG or the player and condemns the spreading of this type of information that has not been proven by the parties concerned.”
Mbappe inspired France into the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup with a two-goal salvo against Argentina on Saturday.
In fact, Mbappe finished the round of 16 stage at the 2018 World Cup as the highest WhoScored rated player (9.77 rating).
The PSG striker is regarded as one of the best prospects in the world and would certainly bring star quality to Madrid, along with team-mate Neymar.
