While swirling transfer speculation, Kylian Mbappe has sought to clarify his future amid persistent rumors linking him with a move to Real Madrid. Reports had suggested that the French superstar had already agreed to join the Spanish giants once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of the season. However, Mbappe reportedly refuted these claims during a dinner at the Elysee Palace, where French President Emmanuel Macron and PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi invited him.

While the dinner allowed Mbappe to address the ongoing speculation surrounding his future, the 25-year-old forward maintained that no deal with Real Madrid had been finalized. Despite La Liga president Javier Tebas asserting a high probability of Mbappe's move to the Spanish capital, the player denied any such arrangement, according to reports from RMC Sport.
