New Real Madrid signing Aurelien Tchouameni has appeared to confirm that Kylian Mbappe is now playing a part in Paris Saint-Germain’s recruitment process.
Mbappe opted to sign a three-year contract extension with the Ligue 1 champions, keeping him in the French capital until 2025. That deal ensured he would not be joining Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, as many had expected – with suggestions that he had given his word to the Spanish giants that he would be joining them this year.
It comes less than 12 months after the French club rejected a world record transfer offer from Los Blancos for the striker, whose contract at the Parc des Princes had been due to expire on 30 June. Last month, the striker said that the decision on his future will be announced "in a matter of days" and it subsequently brought an end to a long-running saga.
