PSG chief blasts Real Madrid President Florentino Perez over Kylain Mbappe comment

Paris Saint-Germain’s sporting director Leonardo has hit out at Real Madrid accusing the club of having a ‘lack of respect’ by discussing the future of Kylian Mbappe.

On Tuesday Madrid President Florentino Perez said he was confident the France star would commit to a LaLiga move with his contract set to expire at the end of this season.

And his claims didn’t sit well with Leonardo who raged to L’Equipe: “There are matches and Real Madrid cannot continue to behave in this way. May it stop!

“Mbappe is a PSG player and the club fully understands that this relationship will last.

“This new exit is just in the continuity of a lack of respect towards the PSG and towards Kylian Mbappe.

“In the same week, we’ve had a Real Madrid player (Karim Benzema) the coach (Carlo Ancelotti) and now the president of Real Madrid speak of Kylian as if he were their own player.

“It’s a lack of respect that we can’t tolerate. That (pursuit) from Florentino has been happening for two years.

“I only want to remind (everyone) the transfer window is over, that the season is going on.”

Tottenham join Chelsea star chase as player says he’s ‘honoured’

Tottenham are thought to be keen on a free transfer swoop for Antonio Rudiger.

The Germany centre-back is reportedly stalling on a new deal with Chelsea.

It is claimed the Blues star is after a £400,000-a-week contract.

The Express claims Spurs are eager on a move for the player following their attempts to sign him last season.

Meanwhile, Rudiger has revealed he is ‘honoured’ to be receiving interest from German champions Bayern Munich.

Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann recently heaped praise on Rudiger and said he’s one of the best defenders at Stamford Bridge.

And now Rudiger has responded to the Bayern boss’ comments.

Although the German is flattered by the interest, he claims he’s happy at Chelsea.

Rudiger said to BILD: “My future? I feel good at Chelsea where I am now, so that fits.

“FC Bayern interest honours me because that shows that I’ve done a few things right recently”

Luiz Suarez reveals how Barcelona hurt him before Atletico Madrid move

Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez cannot “forget” the way Barcelona exiled him and terminated his contract.

Despite also winning LaLiga in his first season with Atletico, the ex-Liverpool striker is still hurt by how his six years at the Nou Camp ended.

Suarez, 34, told ESPN: “It was the way they did it. I gave a lot to the club, and I don’t think I deserved to be treated that way.

“They should sit down with me, one-to-one, and explain everything.

“Then don’t tell me that if the termination of my contract isn’t done by Wednesday, that you’ll count on me against Villarreal. Either one thing or the other.

“They sent me to pitch 3 or pitch 4 to train alone.

“Of course, these are things you don’t forget.”
