Real Madrid have declared their disapproval of Paris Saint-Germain's approach to sign Kylian Mbappe, with the club valuing his performance at $150 million euros.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Real Madrid said they were "deeply disappointed" by PSG's move to sign Mbappe and accused them of using the Frenchman as leverage in negotiations for other players.
"We strongly condemn this type of behavior and will not tolerate it," the statement read.
PSG, meanwhile, defended their actions, saying that Mbappe is worth more than $150 million euros and that he would be a "game-changer" for any team he joins.
The statement also claimed that Real Madrid had been involved in discussions with PSG about Mbappe but had backed out at the last minute.
Real Madrid's decision to express their disapproval comes after Mbappe's representatives reportedly offered Real Madrid €220 million ($248 million) for the player, which was rejected by the Spanish club.
The transfer saga has caused controversy in both France and Spain, with some fans and media outlets criticizing PSG for overpaying for Mbappe.
However, others believe that the player's value far exceeds his price tag and that he could bring significant benefits to any team he plays for.
Ultimately, the future of Mbappe remains uncertain, with Real Madrid and PSG both still trying to secure his services.
