Kylian Mbappe makes surprise Neymar request in PSG ultimatum - latest transfer rumours

Kylian Mbappe has issued a series of demands to PSG if he is to stay at the Parc des Princes next season.

The striker is determined to win major European trophies and has grown frustrated with the lack of development of the French giants despite the huge money being spent.

They crashed out of the Champions League against Manchester United and now Mbappe wants guarantees from the Qatari owners if he is to stick around in Ligue 1.

The first of those is obvious. It's simply to be challenging for the Champions League next season.

The second of those is also similarly obvious and would come along with winning the Champions League. He wants PSG to help him become one of the contenders for the Balon D'or, which has only been won by one players outwith Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the last 10 years when Luka Modric claimed it.

The third is a bit more surprising. Given PSG are seemingly determined to get rid of Neymar, and the belief that the Brazilian is annoyed at falling below Mpabbe as the French side's key player, it wouldn't seem likely that they have a great relationship.

However, according to Marca, it seems the opposite is true. Mbappe believes that Neymar staying is key to PSG being successful in Europe and sent him an 'affectionate' message after he was ruled out of the Copa America.

And his third demand to PSG is to keep Neymar, and play the duo as a front two next season instead of playing both as widemen to accommodate Edinson Cavani.

PSG agreeing to these demands would be a major blow for Real Madrid and Barcelona, with the Los Blancos looking to sign Mbappe and Neymar looking to return to the Nou Camp.

Elsewhere, Marca also report that Christian Eriksen has been offered to Madrid.

The Danish midfielder is unwilling to sign a new deal at Tottenham and wants to move on. Manchester United have also been linked but owner Daniel Levy is notoriously difficult to deal with and he doesn't want him to move to another Premier League team.

It means Madrid would be favourites to sign him and Marca say Levy personally phoned the Spanish giants to offer Eriksen to them.
