This follows reports they were in talks to sign the Frenchman as a free-agent.
Spanish newspaper MARCA on Thursday reported that “he [Mbappe] will land at the Santiago Bernabeu” next summer.
“In view of the information issued and published recently by different media outlets, in which there is speculation about alleged negotiations between the player Kylian Mbappe and our club, Real Madrid wishes to state that this information is categorically false and that no such negotiations have taken place with a player who belongs to PSG,” said Madrid in an official statement on Saturday .
Mbappe was frozen out by PSG until August 13 after refusing to extend his contract .

That notwithstanding, talks of a transfer to Real Madrid has refused to go away and will continue to dominate headlines with Mbappe heading towards the end of his PSG contract.
