Nike step in urging Mbappe to drop Real Madrid plans

Nike have moved to block Kylian Mbappe from leaving PSG for Real Madrid this summer.

El Confidencial says Nike have made a massive offer to renew their agreement - with the urging that Mbappe delay any plans to leave PSG in the coming years.

With PSG also part of their stable, Nike want Mbappe to spearhead their global marketing push.

And with Real about to extend their long-standing agreement with adidas, Nike are desperate not to see Mbappe running around in a Los Merengues shirt anytime soon.

Just this week, Mbappe pledged his commitment to PSG, declaring: "I'm staying at PSG.

"I'm fully involved in PSG's project. I'm happy for Real Madrid that Zizou [Zinedine Zidane] has come back.

"I'll watch their games as an admirer."
