MADRID, July 4, 2018 (News Wires) - Real Madrid have issued a statement denying claims they are on the verge of completing a deal to sign Kylian Mbappe in a £237m move. Media reports on Wednesday morning suggested that the European champions had concluded an agreement to sign the France World Cup striker. But Real Madrid issued a statement distancing themselves from a move for the 19-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward. "Given the information published in the last few hours regarding an alleged agreement between Real Madrid C.F. and PSG for the player Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid would like to state that it is completely false," said the Spanish club. "Real Madrid has not made any offer to PSG or the player and condemns the spreading of this type of information that has not been proven by the parties concerned. Real Madrid had earlier denied a report that they have offered a world-record 310 million euros ($360.59 million) for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Neymar. Spanish television channel TVE reported on Monday that the Champions League winners had submitted the bid for the player who left Barcelona last year for a record 222 million euros. "In light of information broadcast tonight by TVE regarding an alleged Real Madrid offer to PSG and their player Neymar, Real Madrid C. F. wishes to state that this information is absolutely untrue," the club said in statement on their website. "Real Madrid has made no offer of any kind to PSG or the player." Neymar is currently on duty with Brazil at the World Cup in Russia and scored one and set up another as they beat Mexico 2-0 in the last 16 on Monday.
