Kylian Mbappe reportedly has three clubs vying for his signature this summer, including his current club Paris Saint-Germain and Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe reportedly has three clubs vying for his signature this summer.

The 23-year-old will see his contract at the Parc des Princes expire in June, and he is now free to negotiate pre-contract agreements with foreign clubs.

Real Madrid are believed to the frontrunners to sign Mbappe, although the Frenchman recently denied that any deal had been done and insisted that staying with PSG was still an option.

The French giants are hoping to tie the forward down to a new deal, but former France international Jerome Rothen claims that an unnamed third club have joined the race for the player's signature.

Speaking on the RMC show Rothen On Fire in France, Rothen said: "According to the information I've been given, there is a third club that has entered the fray and that could also make [Mbappe] think.

"I don't know the identity of this club but what is certain is that it is not Barcelona. It has been confirmed to me by the entourage. Barcelona is out of the question for him to go, for several reasons.

"But today in Europe, there are not 15,000 who can receive Kylian Mbappe... It's between PSG, Real and maybe one other."

Premier League title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool are two other European clubs who have previously been linked with Mbappe, who has recorded 28 goals and 20 assists in 38 games for PSG across all competitions this season.
