PSG have slammed Read Madrid for offering 160m euros for Kylian Mbappe.
The club describe the offer as being disrespectful, saying they need to do better if they need him.
AFP reports that PSG sporting director Leonardo said the offer of around 160 million euros ($188 million) was “not enough” for a player they wanted “to keep”.
“Our position has always been to keep Kylian, to renew his contract” which expires next June, said the Brazilian to some media including AFP.
He went on to describe the Spanish club’s approach to the France World Cup winner as “disrespectful, incorrect and illegal”.
Leoonardo went on to say that if the 22-year-old Mbappe “wants to leave, we will not retain him, but he will leave or stay on our terms”.
“If a player wants to leave, he will leave. The club, the project, remain above everyone,” added the Brazilian leader, addressing some media including AFP. But “we have done everything” to convince him to stay.
PSG paid 180 million euros to Monaco for the forward in 2017 and are keen for him to sign a new deal.
