Kylian Mbappe makes transfer claim amid Liverpool and Real Madrid rumours

Kylian Mbappe has revealed that he is yet to make a decision regarding his future, amid links to Real Madrid and Liverpool.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker is expected to leave the Parc des Princes on a free transfer this summer, when his contract expires.

Mbappe is reportedly Real’s No.1 transfer target after the Spanish giants' £170 million offer for the Frenchman was rejected by PSG last August.

The 23-year-old has been free to negotiate terms on and sign a pre-contract agreement with another club since January 1, and there had been reports that Mbappe had already put pen to paper on a five-year deal with Los Blancos.

However, PSG are claiming the France striker could sign a new deal and remain in Paris.

Mbappe has been in fine form this season, scoring his 20th goal of the campaign during Sunday’s 5-1 victory at Ligue 1 champions Lille.

Speaking after the thrashing at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Mbappe insisted he has yet make a decision on his future and stated he was focused on knocking Real out of the Champions League when they clash with PSG in the last-16.

“If I have made a decision over my future? No,” he told Amazon Prime Video.

“Playing against Real Madrid changes a lot of things. Although I have the freedom to do what I want in this moment, I am not going to speak with a rival or do that type of thing.

“I am concentrated on winning against Real Madrid. And then we will see what happens.”

His comments will no doubt be welcomed at Liverpool after it seemed a foregone conclusion that his next destination would be the Bernabeu.
