Kylian Mbappe has teased that he could be on his way to Real Madrid after posting a cryptic message on social media, with his future at Paris Saint-Germain still uncertain.

According to Goal, Mbappe caused speculation about replacing Karim Benzema at Real Madrid after posting a series of photographs, including one of three cards each showing the number 9.

The No. 9 shirt at Los Blancos is currently vacant following Benzema's departure to Al-Ittihad this summer and the 2022 World Cup Golden Boot winner could be the right target to replace his compatriot.

PSG already believes Mbappe has had an agreement behind closed doors to join Real Madrid after the 24-year-old forward turned down a world-record offer from Saudi Pro League side, Al-Hilal.

Klopp speaks on Mbappe rumours

Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp has distanced Liverpool from pursuing Mbappe this summer after it was stated the Merseyside club were one of the frontrunners to sign the PSG forward, Liverpool Echo reports.

The German manager revealed that he and his staff had laughed off the rumours linking the Reds to a deal for the 24-year-old forward, who is in the final year of his PSG contract and could be sold this summer.

Mbappe reportedly informed PSG by a formal letter that he will not extend his contract with the capital club beyond 2024, prompting the Ligue 1 champions to begin attempts to cash in on the World Cup winner.

Real Madrid making Mbappe bid?

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Paris Saint-Germain believes Spanish giants, Real Madrid will submit an 'unacceptable' bid fior Mbappe near the transfer deadline.

The Ligue 1 champions have reportedly put the 24-year-old forward up for sale after he refused to extend his deal, which is set to expire at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

PSG is said to believe that Real Madrid will try to snap Mbappe up cheaply as the French forward is eager to leave them and join up with 14-time Champions League giants.
