Paris Saint-Germain confirmed they rejected Real Madrid's bid for Kylian Mbappe transfer

The French club’s sports director Leonardo confirmed that Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday had rejected Real Madrid’s offer to move a star forward, Kylian Mbappé. Speaking to BFM and RMC Sport, Leonardo said that considering the market value of Mbappé, the Spanish Giants’ offer is not enough.

On Tuesday, Spanish and French media reported that Real Madrid had made a € 160 million ($ 187.81 million) bid on the 22-year-old World Cup winner, who scored 42 goals in all competitions for PSG last season and reportedly stated that he wants to move to Spain.

Paris Saint-Germain has signed the legendary player Lionel Messi from Argentina, hoping that the trio of Argentine stars Neymar and Mbappé can help them win the major trophies of this season.

Leonardo said that Paris Saint-Germain does not intend to discuss Mbappé’s issue with Real Madrid again. If Mbappé wants to leave, he must leave under Paris Saint-Germain’s terms.

“Kylian Mbappe feels like he wants to leave. It seems clear to me... Our goal is to extend and keep him. If a player wants to leave, it must be under our terms. This applies not just to Kylian but to all players,” Leonardo said.

Leonardo did not confirm the figure of 160 million euros but said that the bid was “something around that.”

“We think this proposal is very far from what Kylian is worth today,” he added.
