Kylian Mbappe has been warned that Paris Saint-Germain will be forced to sell some of his team-mates if he tries to move to Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer.
Mbappe sent a letter to PSG last month stating he had no intention of extending his contract, which expires in 2024, meaning he could leave for free next summer - a situation club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is desperate to avoid.
The France striker later clarified he had not asked the club to allow him to move to Spanish giants Real Madrid, who have tried and failed to land the World Cup winner in the past.
He has been given a deadline of July 31 to commit to staying at PSG until at least the summer of 2025, otherwise he will be sold to the highest bidder next month.
PSG privately accept that they cannot force Mbappe to sign an extension and they also cannot force him to leave against his wishes this summer.
