      As reported by RMC Sport, a statement from his team read: “There’s no agreement on Kylian future.
      “There have been no discussions about his futures. No type of influence could dictate the timing of Kylian’s discussions, reflections, decisions.”
      The World Cup winner has just six months remaining on his current Paris Saint-Germain contract, meaning he is now free to negotiate with other clubs.
      Real Madrid have been pushing to sign Mbappe for years, but there is no guarantee that he will make the switch this summer.

      Real Madrid have been pushing to sign Mbappe since his Monaco days.
      The La Liga giants came close to sealing a deal in 2022, but the 25-year-old penned a new two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain instead.
      However, Carlo Ancelotti will finally get his man in July.
      Mbappe is set to jump straight into the Italian’s starting line-up when he arrives at the Santiago Bernabeu, joining the likes of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr.
      Read More on Football
      The World Cup winner regularly plays on the left wing for his national team, but he will likely move into the middle for Real Madrid to accommodate Vinicius and Rodrygo.
      Bellingham, who joined Los Blancos in a huge £115million transfer last summer, is set to keep his spot in midfield.
      The England international is currently leading the La Liga Golden Boot race with 13 goals in 17 games.
      Mbappe’s proposed partnership with Bellingham will likely strike fear into any defence in Europe.

      How Real Madrid could line up with Mbappe
      Although they are yet to pen new deals with Real Madrid, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric could stay at the Santiago Bernabeu beyond the summer.
      Both players will be able to provide five-star service to Mbappe in attack.
      And with Thibaut Courtois set to return from an ACL injury ahead of the 2024-25 season, Los Blancos will still be defensively solid.
      David Alaba, who joined the club in 2021, is also set to return from his ACL injury in time for the new season.
      Alternatively, Ancelotti could bolster his squad even more by adding some extra summer signings to the mix.
      Real Madrid have expressed an interest in signing Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle, but they face competition from PSG.
      Guimaraes could be a perfect replacement for either Kroos or Modric in midfield.
      Federico Valverde will also step up should either of the two players leave.

      Kylian Mbappe ‘ready to consider Premier League free transfer’ with PSG ace ‘unimpressed’ by Real Madrid pursuit

      by

      And he is expected to leave the Ligue 1 giants at the end of the season.
      Real Madrid remain desperate to land the World Cup winner – after failed attempts in 2017 and again in 2022.
      However, The Times state Real have placed a January deadline on Mbappe signing a pre-contract agreement for the 2024-25 season to secure his services.
      But the report adds the forward is unimpressed by Los Blancos’ approach to the latest negotiations – and he has told friends he will not be forced into making a premature decision.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      The Times adds that Mbappe wants to explore his other options first.
      And that includes moving to England, with Liverpool a genuine possible destination.
      The Qatar 2022 Golden Boot winner has openly admitted his admiration for Jurgen Klopp’s style of play and held talks with Liverpool in 2022.
      Mbappe could be a suitable superstar replacement for Mo Salah if the Egyptian hero does go to Saudi Arabia this summer.

      The Saudi Pro League, meanwhile, are expected to make another approach for the Frenchman.
      Mbappe was the subject of a world-record £259million transfer bid from Al-Hilal last year but opted against the move which would have seen him become the highest-paid footballer on the planet.
      Following the saga in the summer, Mbappe informed PSG he would not sign the 12-month extension option on his current contract.
      That saw him exiled from the first-team squad and he was only able to return after agreeing to forego a series of bonuses worth £68m.
      Mbappe – who has 22 goals in 23 games since his reintroduction – discussed his future with PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi ahead of Wednesday’s Trophee des Champions victory over Toulouse.
      However, he left the door open to where he will be playing his football next term.
      Mbappe told reporters: “No. I’m very, very motivated for this year. It is very important.
      “As I said, we have got titles to go after and we have already taken one.
      “After that, I haven’t made up my mind yet. I have not made a choice.”

      Referee Jorge Figueroa Vazquez had dismissed Greenwood for dissent during the second half.
      However, the decision has now been overturned after it was confirmed the forward never took aim at the official.
      He was instead referring to the amount of times he had been fouled by the opposition players, a statement confirmed.
      The RFEF said in a statement: “The task of this disciplinary body is not to re-referee the matches, without determining, where appropriate, the existence of a manifest material error in the referee’s description of the action.

      “As has been said here, only proof of an error of this type can distort the assessment made by the referee and, consequently, the veracity of what was recorded in the minutes.
      “The repeated viewing of the images, in fact, has allowed this Committee to conclude, beyond any doubt, that the action that led to the expulsion did not occur as described by the referee and, ultimately, prove the material error manifest in the referee’s report.
      “These images demonstrate that the player actually said “One, two, three, four, f***.”
      Greenwood was one of three Getafe players sent off in their midweek loss, alongside Juanmi Latasa and Damian Suarez.

      The 22-year-old had already been available to play in the Copa del Rey win over Espanyol on Saturday and started for Jose Bordalas’ side.
      Greenwood has scored five goals and provided four assists in all competitions on loan at Getafe so far this season.
      His form has already started to attract interest from some of Spain’s biggest clubs.
      SunSport revealed this week that Barcelona are eyeing a £40million move and are prepared to offer the winger Lionel Messi’s old number 10 shirt to secure his services.
      However, the Spanish champions reportedly face competition from Atletico Madrid for Greenwood’s signature. More
