Earlier this week, Real Madrid’s first bid for the 22-year-old was rejected as “not enough” by PSG’s sporting director Leonardo.

“On Kylian, our position has not changed. Everyone knows it, he knows it. Our position is very clear and very honest,” said PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi earlier on Thursday on the sidelines of the Champions League draw in Istanbul.

Kylian Mbappe’s current deal with PSG expires next June.

Leonardo said Real Madrid’s initial offer was “disrespectful, incorrect and illegal”. 

But he added: “If a player wants to leave, he will leave. The club, the project, remain above everyone. We have done everything to convince him to stay.”

After the arrival of Lionel Messi in Paris earlier this month, Al-Khelaifi said Mbappe “has no reason to do anything else” but stay.
