Former AS Monaco vice-chairman Vadim Vasilyev has told Liverpool to forget about PSG star Kylian Mbappe.

The Reds are being linked with the World Cup winner, but Vasilyev says a move to Real Madrid is "inevitable".

Vasilyev, who sold Mbappe to PSG, told Le Parisien: "Kylian will join Real Madrid, I do not know when, but it seems inevitable.

"The club is very important in his life. Madrid had a more interesting offer than PSG in 2017 but he told me he that thought it was too early to leave France, and Paris was his home.

"He wanted to become a great player in France as he would have plenty of time and that showed Kylian's intelligence - he is now the best player in France and PSG have enough finances to keep him."
