Kylian Mbappe: Real Madrid rubbish rumours of talks with Paris St-Germain forward

Kylian Mbappe is Paris St-Germain's most valuable playing asset
Real Madrid have denied holding discussions with Paris St-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe and say any such claims are "flatly false".
The France attacker has been a target of the Spanish club and could leave PSG when his contract expires next summer.
PSG accepted a world record bid of £259m from Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal for the 24-year-old in July, but Mbappe rejected the move.
Madrid said they have had no talks with the 2018 World Cup winner.
"Given the information recently issued and published by different media outlets, in which there is speculation about alleged negotiations between the player Kylian Mbappe and our club, Real Madrid wants to state that this information is flatly false and that no such negotiations have taken place with a player who belongs to PSG," said the La Liga club in a statement.
Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Barcelona have all been linked with Mbappe, who could leave PSG for free at the end of this season and is widely thought to prefer a move to Madrid.
