Kylian Mbappe sent Ballon d'Or threat in bid to block Real Madrid transfer

Kylian Mbappe has been warned he has "more chances" of winning the Ballon d'Or by staying put at Paris Saint-Germain rather than upping sticks for Real Madrid.

The superstar forward, 23, finished ninth in the voting for the prestigious individual accolade last year but appears to have much stronger hopes of success in 2022. He has an astonishing 21 goals and 14 assists this season, scoring in both Champions League last-16 legs against Real Madrid even though PSG suffered a calamitous exit.

Mbappe is without doubt one of Europe's finest players and his future continues to dominate headlines as the final months of his contract wind down. Los Blancos have long been the frontrunners to seal his services on a free transfer this summer having been unsuccessful with bids of £137million and £145.5million last summer.
