Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid transfer rumours answered as 'nonsense' PSG exit kicked out

Reports tipping world superstar Kylian Mbappe for a bumper switch to Real Madrid have been labelled "nonsense".

The 21-year-old once again added to his incredible reputation with a deadly double in the 3-2 Champions League quarter final first leg win over Bayern Munich.

Mbappe has one year remaining on his deal with Paris Saint-Germain and reports in Spain claimed the World Cup winner was on the verge of heading to the Bernanbeu.

But RMC have come out swinging and claimed sources close to the player have rubbished speculation that he could be leaving his homeland.

PSG fans are anxiously awaiting Mbappe to pen fresh terms in Paris but club officials are confident their superstar striker will commit to their project for the long term.

His contract expires in 2022 and is valued at £200m - more than any other player in world football.

Mbappe being linked with Real Madrid is nothing new and he idolised Los Blancos as a youngster when his hero Cristiano Ronaldo was thrilling the Bernabeu season after season.

The France star is also a major admirer of Zinedine Zidane with the pair exchanging compliments regularly in recent years.

But with his close friend Neymar set to stick with PSG it looks likely that Mbappe will follow.
