Kylian Mbappe ‘ready to consider Premier League free transfer’ with PSG ace ‘unimpressed’ by Real Madrid pursuit
KYLIAN MBAPPE is reportedly ready to consider a free transfer to the Premier Leauge - as frustrations grow with Real Madrid's pursuit.
The French sensation, 25, has entered the final six months of his Paris Saint-Germain contract.
And he is expected to leave the Ligue 1 giants at the end of the season.
Real Madrid remain desperate to land the World Cup winner - after failed attempts in 2017 and again in 2022.
However, The Times state Real have placed a January deadline on Mbappe signing a pre-contract agreement for the 2024-25 season to secure his services.
But the report adds the forward is unimpressed by Los Blancos' approach to the latest negotiations - and he has told friends he will not be forced into making a premature decision.

adds that Mbappe wants to explore his other options first.
And that includes moving to England, with Liverpool a genuine possible destination.
The Qatar 2022 Golden Boot winner has openly admitted his admiration for Jurgen Klopp's style of play and held talks with Liverpool in 2022.
Mbappe could be a suitable superstar replacement for Mo Salah if the Egyptian hero does go to Saudi Arabia this summer.

The Saudi Pro League, meanwhile, are expected to make another approach for the Frenchman.
Mbappe was the subject of a world-record £259million transfer bid from Al-Hilal last year but opted against the move which would have seen him become the highest-paid footballer on the planet.
Following the saga in the summer, Mbappe informed PSG he would not sign the 12-month extension option on his current contract.
That saw him exiled from the first-team squad and he was only able to return after agreeing to forego a series of bonuses worth £68m.
Mbappe - who has 22 goals in 23 games since his reintroduction - discussed his future with PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi ahead of Wednesday's Trophee des Champions victory over Toulouse.
However, he left the door open to where he will be playing his football next term.
Mbappe told reporters: “No. I’m very, very motivated for this year. It is very important.
"As I said, we have got titles to go after and we have already taken one.
"After that, I haven’t made up my mind yet. I have not made a choice."
