New contract for Mbappe?
Monaco said on Wednesday that no deal with Real Madrid has been reached for teenage French international striker Kylian Mbappe.
Monaco vice president Vadim Vasilyev also said in a press conference the principality club were in discussions with Mbappe over a new contract extension.
The 18-year-old has been the subject of intense transfer speculation linking him to a world-record 180-million-euro move.
"I have read a lot of things in the press," said Vasilyev. "So far we have not signed any agreements with Real or any other club. All big clubs want him, he's the great hope of European football.
"We are in discussions over a contract extension with Kylian and we hope to reach an agreement."
"There is too much media pressure around him," he added. “It's not easy for him, but he handles it well."
