According to a fresh report from Le Parisien, PSG have told Kylian Mbappe that they expect a decision from him over his future immediately amid links to Real Madrid.

The Mbappe transfer saga is back on centre stage heading into the summer window after the 24-year-old confirmed that he does not intend to renew his contract with the Parisian giants beyond 2024.

As such, he could leave PSG as a free agent next summer, and Real Madrid had plans to sign him then. But, the Ligue 1 champions are against that scenario and have told the French international that either he renews his contract or leaves this summer itself.

Mbappe, though, has remained firm on his stance that he wishes to stay in Paris for the next season.

But, club chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi is not entertaining that possibility whatsoever. His stance on the matter has not changed – either Mbappe signs a new contract or leaves immediately. He has informed the forward’s agent and mother, Fayza Lamari, that the sooner the saga ends the better for everyone.

And Les Parisiens are expecting a decision from the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner soon, with everything now in his hands.

Real Madrid, for their part, have been monitoring the situation cautiously but with the hope of landing their top target this year itself. And if Mbappe relents his stance, Los Blancos could very well get their man.

PSG, for their part, value Mbappe at €200 million at least. But that figure should not be an issue for Real Madrid, who are understood to have the money ready for the superstar’s signing.

The ball is now in the player’s court now and it is up to him to decide whether he changes his current stance or not. PSG are firm that they will sell him if he does not renew and are expecting a decision soon.

As such, there may be an ending to the soap opera soon – one which might end up in favour of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are back in action in La Liga tonight after the three-week international break as they take on Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Having lost their previous game against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid will be eager to get back to winning ways, especially with Barcelona on track to secure three more points and extending their lead at the top.

Ahead of kickoff at the Santiago Bernabeu later tonight, manager Jose Mourinho has announced the starting lineup that will take the field against Villarreal.

The big headline is that captain Federico Valverde is fit enough to start in midfield after having successfully recovered from the Grade 3 ankle sprain he had sustained during the derby defeat three weeks ago.

The Uruguayan international partners with Aurelien Tchouameni in the middle of the park, while Jude Bellingham continues as the attacking midfielder for the hosts.

The other major news comes in the form of Jose Mourinho deciding to bench Vinicius Jr., with Yan Diomande starting on the left wing.

Arda Guler slots in on the right flank, while Kylian Mbappe, having recovered from the minor injury he sustained during the international break, spearheads the attack.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alvaro Carreras get the nod as the two full-backs flanking the centre-back pairing of Ibrahima Konate and Antonio Rudiger. Thibaut Courtois guards the Real Madrid goal.
