PSG have rubbished reports in the French media claiming Kylian Mbappe’s wages have been leaked.
Since the 23-year-old made the shock decision to extend his stay in Paris amid intense interest from Real Madrid terms of the deal have remained under wraps.
But reports emerged in France claiming how lucrative the contract is.
Le Parisien via Get French Football News, claimed the Frenchman was in line to earn £547m in the three year period since he signed his extension.
However, PSG have rubbished the claims.
A club source said: “Following a sensationalist media story published overnight regarding the Club and one of its players, Paris Saint-Germain confirms the story is completely wrong with not a single detail being correct.

“The timing of the spurious publication by this media outlet is also surprising, just days before an important Champions League match.
“Paris Saint-Germain will not be dignifying this matter with any further comment. Instead of commenting on rumours and gossip, everyone at the Club is positively focused on the important Champions League game tomorrow.
Had the claim been true, it would have made Mbappe the highest-paid sportsperson of all time.

The off-pitch drama does not appear to have played well with the French public with several fans booing Mbappe upon his arrival at last week’s Ballon d’Or celebrations.
