Real Madrid on Mbappé alert amid Tuchel tension
Real Madrid are keeping an eye on Kylian Mbappe, who appears unhappy at Paris Saint-Germain.
Kylian Mbappe appears unhappy at Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are continuing to track the forward.
Mbappe was unhappy with head coach Thomas Tuchel after being substituted during PSG's 5-0 Ligue 1 win over Montpellier on Saturday.
The pair were apparently part of talks that seemingly did not go that well on Sunday night, once again sparking Madrid's interest.
The France international is out of contract in 2022 and Madrid would hope to land the forward for less than €300 million next year.
Le Parisien reports Mbappe, Tuchel and PSG sporting director Leonardo met on Sunday, but the relationship between coach and player may be at the point of no return.
