Kylian Mbappe and his long-standing transfer saga seems no clearer to a resolution in the early days of the transfer window.
The 25-year-old’s contract is set to expire at the end of the current season, meaning clubs are free to approach.
Liverpool and Real Madrid are seen as the most likely candidates for Mbappe’s eventual destination, although Los Blancos are viewed as the clear favourites.
Over the weekend, news broke that Mbappe had reportedly agreed a deal to join Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
It is believed Mbappe wants to be in control of the situation and that serious progress was made over the last few days.
PSG have no knowledge of the deal between Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappe
A new report from French outlet RMC Sport has provided a fresh update on the view that the Frenchman as already agreed terms with Real Madrid.
They say it’s ‘difficult to confirm or invalidate’ the claims at this current moment.
However, the report goes on to state that PSG are not aware of the existence of such an agreement.
The French club still believe Mbappe wants to extend his tally as the club’s top scorer in history.
The 25-year-old is currently 20 goals ahead of Edinson Cavani.
In the player’s entourage, it is said that there is ‘radio silence’.
From Real Madrid’s view, it is believed that their life does not revolve around Kylian Mbappe.
How does this affect Liverpool?
The Times reported that Mbappe was not happy with the manner in which Real Madrid went about signing him.
This led to suggestions that the 25-year-old was looking at a move to possibly the Premier League with Liverpool as one of the sides that he likes.
Now with contrasting reports emerging about whether Madrid and Mbappe did in fact sign an agreement means Liverpool are still in with a chance, however small.
