Paris Saint-Germain will reportedly not let Kylian Mbappe leave the club this summer under any circumstances amid fresh speculation linking him with Real Madrid.
The 24-year-old was widely expected to join Los Blancos on a free transfer last summer, but he ultimately signed a new contract in Paris, with his current terms due to run until June 2025.
There is believed to be a clause in his contract that will allow him to depart on a free transfer at the end of the 2023-24 campaign, with a recent report claiming that Real Madrid will make a second attempt to bring him to Bernabeu next summer.
Fresh speculation has linked Mbappe with a move to the Spanish capital this summer, though, with the France international said to be keen to switch clubs.
The forward has again been in excellent form for PSG this season, scoring 31 goals and registering eight assists in 34 appearances in all competitions.
However, the French giants have suffered yet more disappointment in the Champions League, losing to Bayern Munich in the round of 16.
According to SPORT, PSG are not prepared to let Mbappe depart the club this summer, even if it means risking losing him on a free transfer in 2024.
The report claims that Liverpool and Manchester United have also been in touch with the attacker's agents in recent months, but Real Madrid will be at the head of the queue if he leaves the French champions.
Speaking after PSG's loss to Bayern in the Champions League, Mbappe said that he was "calm" when it came to his future.
"My future? I'm calm, the only thing that matters to me is winning the league, I'm talking about this season and then we'll see. We have to move on, try to continue with our challenges," he told reporters.
PSG have lost their last two league matches to Rennes and Lyon, but they remain in pole position to win the Ligue 1 title, sitting six points clear of second-placed Lens at the summit.
Mbappe is in his sixth season for Les Parisiens, having spent the 2017-18 campaign on loan at the club from Monaco before joining on a permanent basis.
In total, the World Cup winner has represented the capital giants on 251 occasions, scoring 202 goals and registering 96 assists in the process.
As well as Mbappe, Real Madrid are believed to still be interested in signing Erling Braut Haaland from Manchester City, with the Norway international unlikely to spend a number of seasons with the Citizens. body check tags ::
