Madrid pull out of Mbappe talks

Real Madrid have withdrawn from negotiations to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris St-Germain. According to RMC Sport, the clubs cannot agree a fee for the 22-year-old forward.

Madrid had made a £146 million bid to PSG for the Frenchman.

Mbappe had earlier rejected contract-extension offers from PSG. The Frenchman was said to have eyes a move to the Spanish capital. The talks of a move intensified after Lionel Messi’s arrival at the Parisian club.
