La Liga chief talks up Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid move

Los Blancos have tried and failed for a couple of years to prise the 24-year-old away from the Parc des Princes, having first seen a £137m offer rejected in the summer of 2021.

PSG's knock-back had seemingly worked against the French champions, who were expected to lose Mbappe to Real Madrid on a free transfer last year following a protracted saga.

However, PSG managed to tie Mbappe down to a new two-year contract with the option of a third, leading Real to cool their interest in the France international.

Only a few months after the France international put pen to paper, PSG were rocked by reports claiming that Mbappe felt that he made a mistake and ultimately wanted to leave, leading to renewed speculation surrounding a move to the Bernabeu.

With Karim Benzema yet to extend his contract beyond the end of the season, Real are supposedly interested in signing Mbappe on a free transfer in the summer of 2024.

Speaking to Movistar, Tebas affirmed that he would like to see Mbappe play in La Liga with Carlo Ancelotti's side, while also aiming a dig at PSG for alleged "cheating" regarding Financial Fair Play rules.

"It is one thing if I see Mbappe with Madrid and another if I would like to, in the only team that can play in Spain at an economic level is the Real Madrid and I would like him to play for Madrid because that's how he would be in our League," Sport quotes Tebas as saying.

"All the money and cheating that PSG does with the 'fair play' they are not going to make PSG champion of Europe, let's hope it's Real Madrid."

Mbappe recently surpassed Edinson Cavani as PSG's highest goalscorer of all time, and the 24-year-old has amassed a staggering 202 goals and 96 assists in just 249 games for the club.

After breaking Cavani's record with a goal in PSG's 4-2 success over Nantes, Mbappe played down his chances of a move away from the French capital and affirmed that the Parisiens' spate of Champions League failures would have no impact on his future.

"For me it's a privilege to play here. I'm from Paris and being at PSG is special. I arrived when I was young and I've grown and matured a lot, on and off the pitch, since then," Mbappe told the media.

"I don't think so - if I linked my future to the Champions League, and I don't want to disrespect the club, I would have gone very far [away]! I am here and I am very happy, and for the moment I'm not thinking about anything other than making PSG happy."

Since Mbappe's comments, Christophe Galtier's side have exited the Champions League with a whimper, going down 3-0 on aggregate to Bayern Munich in the last 16.

The French champions have now suffered five exits in the last-16 stage in the past seven seasons, but the under-fire Galtier is reportedly in no danger of losing his job before the end of the season.
