Real Madrid deny agreeing Kylian Mbappe fee with Paris Saint-Germain
Written by News on 04/07/2018
Real Madrid have issued a statement denying that a world-record transfer fee has been agreed with Paris Saint-Germain for Kylian Mbappe.
Reports originating in France claim that Madrid have agreed a fee, thought to be €272m (£240m), for the 19-year-old forward.
However, a statement released by the Spanish club on Wednesday read: “Given the information published in the last hours referring to an alleged agreement between Real Madrid CF and PSG by player Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid says they are flatly false.”
Mbappe became the second-most expensive player in history when he joined Paris Saint-Germain on a permanent deal from Monaco for £166m earlier this year.
The striker is currently away on international duty with France at the World Cup in Russia, where he has scored three goals.
