Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Mbappe wants Real Madrid clause in new PSG contract

Kylian Mbappe is open to the idea of signing a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain although there would have to be a clause included that would allow him to leave for a set fee, according to <a href="https://as.com/futbol/2020/05/05/primera/1588664769_091189.html?m1=cG9ydGFkYV9wb3J0YWRh&amp;m2=QUNUVUFMSURBRA%3D%3D&amp;m3=MQ%3D%3D&amp;m4=dmlkZW8%3D&amp;m5=MjI%3D" target="_blank">AS.</a> That would be to ensure he can make a switch to the Liga giants, or another major European superpower, if he chooses to in the future. Mbappe's current deal with the Ligue 1 champions expires in 2022&nbsp;but&nbsp;a new contract for the Frenchman that included such a clause is being seen as detrimental to Madrid, who would miss out on the opportunity to sign the forward for a cut-price fee.

Sandro Tonali should ignore interest from Europe's top teams to continue his career at a top club in&nbsp;Italy, his agent says.
