Your support makes all the difference.Real Madrid have denied they are in transfer talks with Paris St Germain striker Kylian Mbappe.
The France forward is due to leave PSG when his contract expires next summer, with the Bernabeu an expected destination.
But the LaLiga side have rubbished reports they have held any discussions with the World Cup winner.
A club statement read: “Given the information recently issued and published by different media outlets, in which there is speculation about alleged negotiations between the player Kylian Mbappe and our club, Real Madrid C.F. wants to state that this information is flatly false and that no such negotiations have taken place with a player who belongs to PSG.”
The French side accepted a world-record £258million bid from Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal last month, but Mbappe turned down the offer.
