However, reports from Sky Germany claim no deal has been reached between the two clubs, with Real Madrid's latest offer for the 19-year-old coming in way below Leipzig's valuation of him.

Los Blancos offered £85.4M, which in practice would be £76.9m plus £8.5m in add ons, and Leipzig are still looking for £100M outright.

Real Madrid are expected to up their offer in the coming days. but the window has now repoened for both PSG and Liverpool to make a fresh move.

Neither side are willing to match Real Madrid at this point, but if the Spanish giants gain a foothold via an increased offer, Liverpool may be knocked out of the race as PSG consider Maghnes Akliouche as an alternative.
