Despite the insistence of his happiness in Paris, the confirmation of his non-renewal has prompted widespread reports of his exit.

Real Madrid were the front runners to sign the French World Cup winner before he renewed at PSG, and have retained an interest.

However, it seems he will not be heading to the Spanish giants after Perez issued an update on the club’s transfer plans for the summer.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Perez revealed how Madrid would complete the signing of Stoke and Newcastle flop Joselu next week.

The loan transfer for the Spaniard is now said to be “done, signed and sealed”.

Perez then revealed the 33-year-old forward, who scored 16 goals in La Liga for Espanyol last season, would be their final signing of the summer.

While in England, Joselu bagged just 10 goals in the Premier League between 2015 and 2019.

Madrid seemingly pulling out of deal for Mbappe opens the door for Manchester United.
