Reports emerged on Saturday that Mbappe, 18, had been sent home from the club's base following a row with boss Leonardo Jardim.

However, have today claimed that the altercation was in fact with fellow player Raggi.

Both the striker and the 33-year-old defender were left out of the squad for Monaco's victory at Metz on Friday.

And manager Jardim refused to give much away after the clash.

When quizzed on the absence of his star striker, he said: "It is our duty to protect him at the moment."

He has been one of the most-sought after men all summer following his exploits in helping his side to the title and Champions League semi-finals last season.

Real Madrid have been battling the Parisians for Mbappe's signature, but claim that PSG have already sealed a deal with an official announcement soon to follow.

However, Monaco are determined to keep hold of the ace having already lost several of their best players this summer.
