Real Madrid respond to 'threatening Kylian Mbappe' as PSG face transfer exit

REAL MADRID want to sign Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

Real Madrid have denied threatening Kylian Mbappe, according to reports. Florentino Perez is eager to land the Paris Saint-Germain star this time around, having previously missed out in 2017. And Los Blancos remain confident he’ll move to the Bernabeu on a free transfer.

Real Madrid had been hoping to win the race for Mbappe when he burst onto the scene at Monaco.

With Cristiano Ronaldo approaching the twilight years of his Bernabeu career at the time, Perez then got to work when it came to landing Mbappe.

The plan would have been for the duo to forge a deadly double act while phasing Ronaldo out in the process.

Yet PSG eventually won the race for the forward instead, with the Ligue 1 giants initially signing Mbappe on loan before turning it into a permanent arrangement.

Now, they’re facing the prospect of the 23-year-old leaving for nothing come the summer.

That’s when his contract will expire and, so far, Mauricio Pochettino’s side have been unable to tie him down to a renewal.
