Real Madrid has issued an official statement denying reports that they are in negotiations with PSG star Kylian Mbappé.
The statement reads:
“Given information in the media about negotiations between the player Kylian Mbappé and our club, Real Madrid state that this information is categorically false. Negotiations have not taken place with a player who belongs to PSG.”
This comes after reports emerged earlier today that Real Madrid had agreed a deal with Mbappé to sign him next summer. However, Real Madrid have now moved quickly to deny these reports.
It is unclear why Real Madrid have issued this statement now, as there have been rumors of their interest in Mbappé for some time. It is possible that they are trying to head off any speculation about a potential deal for the player, or they may be trying to reassure PSG that they are not trying to poach their star player.
Whatever the reason, the statement is a clear indication that Real Madrid are not serious about signing Mbappé at this time.
