“When Mbappe departs, in 2020 or 2021, he will go to Madrid.”
The claim comes after Mundo Deportivo reported Mbappe is eyeing a move to Madrid after a touchline bust-up with boss Thomas Tuchel.
Zinedine Zidane is apparently ready to fork out a massive £250million to get the deal done.
Mbappe started PSG’s 5-0 win over Montpellier on Saturday, scoring the fourth goal in the 57th minute.
However, he was subbed off by Tuchel just ten minutes later.
And Mbappe gave the German a piece of his mind after Tuchel grabbed him by the back of the head to explain the decision.
It wasn’t the only controversial moment as Neymar confronted the ref at the final whistle over a yellow card for a rainbow flick.
Speaking after the game, Tuchel revealed he is considering disciplining Mbappe for his reaction.
The tactician said: “I’m the coach, someone has to decide who goes off and who comes on – it’s me.
“He is very intelligent, he knows what he is doing. He doesn’t like going off, nobody likes going off.
“These are not good images, but we are not the only club that has to deal with this sort of thing.
“It’s not good, because it opens up subjects that go against the team’s state of mind. Too bad.
“I am not angry, but I am sad because it is not necessary. I explained to him why we did this, and it will stay that way.
“I will always decide the technical aspects. We don’t play tennis, we play soccer and we have to respect everyone.
“I don’t know, I have to think, I have to sleep. I will make a decision.
“We have training at 11am, we will talk about the match with the group.
“I’ll see if I talk about this or if I do it individually. It will depend on my night’s sleep too!”
