Real Madrid ‘threaten to pull out of Kylian Mbappe transfer’ if PSG don’t agree to £154m deal TODAY
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have been handed an ultimatum to accept Real Madrid's £154million offer for Kylian Mbappe, according to reports.
The Spanish giants are determined to push through a deal for the striker, 22, before the market closes next week.
If they do not succeed in this window, Real can set up a pre-agreement in January to sign Mbappe as a free agent at the end of the season.
Therefore PSG must decide whether or not to accept a deal worth an initial £145.6m plus £8.6m in add-ons.
According to French outlet , the Ligue 1 side have been told to confirm their choice on Sunday or risk Madrid pulling out of the move.
It is said that Mbappe's commitment to joining up with the France national team on Monday will make finalising his contract and medical difficult for Los Blancos.
However, Les Bleus boss Didier Deschamps has hinted that he will accommodate his player's needs ahead of three World Cup qualifiers.
PSG sporting director Leonardo told Spanish show El Chiringuito on Friday that 'nothing has changed' as his club pushes for a bigger fee.

World Cup winner Mbappe is reportedly valued at around £188m by the Ligue 1 side, who have recently added Lionel Messi to their ranks.
The attacker is keen to move to Madrid following years of speculation, which Leonardo took aim at as he criticised the LaLiga side's 'incorrect' and 'illegal' manoeuvres.
All eyes will be on the northwestern city of Reims, home to 180,000 and most famous for its fifth-century cathedral, on Sunday night.
PSG make the short journey to face Reims in what was meant to be billed as Messi's debut in French football.
Instead, much attention will be switched to Mbappe's presence in the team and coach Mauricio Pochettino expects him to play, having not discussed the Madrid saga with his player.
Pochettino said: "No, he hasn't told me anything about wanting to leave PSG.
"Kylian has prepared himself well for tomorrow's game.
"The position of our president and our sporting director is very clear on Mbappe's situation at PSG.
"They will certainly be part of the squad, but we do not know yet if they will play from the start."
