  • Kylian Mbappe has directly refuted speculations of his potential move to Real Madrid this summer
  • Aside from the La Liga giants, the Frenchman has also been linked with a Manchester United move
  • The Paris Saint-Germain star's current contract with the French champions runs out next summer

Kylian Mbappe has weighed in on reports linking him to Real Madrid amid the uncertainty surrounding his future with Paris Saint-Germain.

The French superstar has caught the attention of clubs like Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester United with his stunning statement to AFP, in which he confirmed he would not sign a new contract with the Parisians.

However, as reported by SB Nation, he has firmly asserted his intention to remain in Paris this summer.

The 24-year-old took to the micro-blogging app, Twitter, today to clarify his immediate plans in response to a post by French media outlet, Le Parisien.

"LIES... The bigger the noise, the more it spreads. I have already stated that I will stay at PSG next season, where I am extremely content."

On Monday, Mbappe communicated to the French champions his decision not to activate a contract extension option beyond 2024, per Evening Standard.

As a result, PSG seems open to the possibility of selling him during the summer transfer window to prevent losing the striker for nothing as a free agent.

However, given the strained relationship between the two clubs, it appears highly unlikely the Parisians would engage in any negotiations with Real Madrid.

Mbappe speaks amid exit talks

In a related publication, Mbappe clarified uncertainty over his future with PSG following news of his decision not to extend his contract until 2025, Sports Brief reported.

The French forward's current contract with the Ligue 1 champions is set to expire at the conclusion of the season, but does include a possible extension for another year.

In an effort to provide clarity amid swirling rumours and speculation, Mbappe has come forward to share his perspective on the matter of his contract renewal.

La Liga: Mbappe for Madrid

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that La Liga is encouraged by Real Madrid’s push to sign Mbappe this summer as the Spanish top flight is short of star power at the moment.

The Frenchman has informed PSG he will not extend his current deal when it expires in 2024, with Los Blancos emerging as key favourites to land the 24-year-old star.

According to reports, La Liga believes the signing of Mbappe would be key to showing that Real Madrid are appealing beyond the riches and glamour of the Premier League.
