Transfer Talk: All the latest Mbappe news in bite-sized chunks

Kylian Mbappe stayed at Paris Saint-Germain this summer despite refusing to sign a new deal with the club.

The France captain is out of contract in 2024 after informing the Ligue 1 champions that he will not be taking up the option of extending his stay for an extra year.

And the star forward could now run down that deal and take his pick of suitors next summer.

Real Madrid seem like an obvious destination but there could well be interest from Premier League clubs, as well as teams outside Europe.

Liverpool could sacrifice talisman Mohamed Salah next summer to open the door for the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. 

The Frenchman, 24, has made his desire to leave Paris Saint-Germain very public in the last 12 months and as it stands will be able to walk away from the Ligue 1 side for free in 2024. 

Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad put £150million on the table for Salah in the last transfer window and TEAMtalk believe the Reds must accept an offer next year if they want to land Mbappe.

The links between Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid could soon intensify again amid reports the Spanish club will be able to splash the cash in the near future.

According to AS, Los Blancos have freed up around £324million to be spent in transfer windows, with £111m already in the bank and another £231m to come in approved credit facilities.

And while Mbappe may be a free agent in the summer, Real would still need some serious money to meet his salary demands.

Paris Saint-Germain could give Real Madrid — or any other club interested — a free run at Kylian Mbappe when his contract expires on June 30.

According to AS, the French champions are currently ruling out the prospect of offering their talisman a new deal.

Instead, PSG want Mbappe to comply with what was reportedly agreed between them, which is the extension of his contract for one more year until 2025.

Manchester United are preparing to sell Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho and Antony in January to fund an audacious bid for Kylian Mbappe.

British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe is close to sealing his minority stake in the Red Devils in the next fortnight.

And Football Insider say the Ineos chief will use funds generated from the attacking trio to mount a pursuit of Mbappe in 2024.

Real Madrid have ruled out signing Kylian Mbappe, regardless of whether he leaves Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer or not.

The Frenchman is out of contract in 2024 and it has long been assumed that a move to the Spanish capital was his likeliest next step.

But according to reports in Spain, the 14-time European champions have decided not to proceed with a deal.
