Mbappe’s mother, Lamari Fayza took to her Twitter handle to explain the reports and wrote, "There is no agreement in principle with Paris Saint-Germain (or any other club). Discussions around Kylian's future are continuing in a climate of great serenity to allow him to make the best choice, with respect for all parties."
Fayza also reportedly spoke to Spanish publication MARCA and said, “It is completely false that Kylian has renewed.” Madrid has been desperate to sign the Mbappe for a long time, while it also happens to be his dream club. Also, with Gareth Bale likely to leave the Spanish capital following the season-end, Los Blancos is looking to replace the Welsh with the Frenchman.
