At Real Madrid they don't believe the Barça and Mbappe links either

One of the more surprising news stories of the week was L’Equipe linking Kylian Mbappe to Barcelona. The French forward is a free agent in the summer but is closest to Real Madrid.

However the Catalans don’t believe the story and Real Madrid don’t either. They think it’s a strategy to upset the situation.

Barcelona’s finances don’t permit an Mbappe deal. He wants at least 100m from Madrid or arriving for free and a gross 60m euro salaries a season.

Barcelona would not be able to manage that so all roads are pointing to the Spanish capital for the striker.
