PSG delay Kylian Mbappe transfer call to avoid Real Madrid Champions League clash – report

by Kylian Mbappe move to Real Madrid cannot be confirmed until the end of the season.

The France captain looks set to complete his long-awaited move to the Spanish capital in 2024.

Mbappe rejected PSG's offer to trigger a 12-month contract extension clause and his current deal expires in June.

PSG has since confirmed Mbappé's indication that he wanted to leave and Real Madrid have intensified negotiations with their agents.

However, despite the growing sense of inevitability in Mbappe's move to Madrid, a formal call-up could be delayed.

PSG are cruising to a Ligue 1 title defense and are on course for a potential domestic treble.

The Champions League remains the big question mark in Paris with PSG having never won the trophy in their history.

Mbappe's regularly stated his desire to win in Paris, before an outing, and the competition is a priority.

According to a report from Chain SERno deal will be formalized until PSG or Real Madrid are eliminated from the Champions League.

The French side want to avoid a possible embarrassment for Mbappe in front of his potential new club in the knockout phase.
