PSG is reportedly considering on reporting Real Madrid to FIFA after discovering evidence that the Spanish club has an agreement with Kylian Mbappe.

PSG to knock FIFA headquarters to report Real Madrid

According to a MARCA report, PSG claims to have evidence that Real Madrid illegally agreed to a deal with Mbappe. The striker is under contract with the Ligue 1 club for another season and cannot sign a pre-contract with any club until January 1, 2024. PSG has been attempting to sell Mbappe this summer after he refused to sign a new contract with the club. The striker has also decided not to exercise his option for an additional year, putting him in the final year of his current contract.

Real Madrid are the top choice to sign Mbappe when he becomes a free agent next summer. PSG gave the striker an ultimatum, telling him that he must either sign a new contract or leave the club this summer. Despite PSG accepting a €300 million bid for Kylian Mbappe, he has yet to meet with Al Hilal. Mbappe was on his way to joining Real Madrid on a free transfer last summer when he changed his mind. Last summer, the striker agreed to a two-year contract extension with PSG, with the option of a third year.

Kylian Mbappe on the dream of playing for Real Madrid

The striker told the BBC that his dream of playing for Real Madrid was still alive. He also stated that he had spoken with Florentino Perez to explain his situation.

"Never over, never over. The only thing is that now I have signed a contract for three years more. You never know what can happen in the future. I give up to think about the future, I only think about the present and the present is I signed a new contract for three years more at Paris Saint-Germain."

"I spoke to the president of Real Madrid because I have a lot of respect for him and the club. I think it was important to say it personally that I wasn't going to go. To be a great player [you have] to be honest, and everything was great and good because we have a good relationship."
