UEFA chief wades in on Kylian Mbappe's PSG saga by making Real Madrid contract claim

UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin has backed Kylian Mbappe 's new deal at Paris Saint Germain after initial complaints from Real Madrid who were snubbed by the Frenchman.

It looked destined that Mbappe would move to Los Blancos, but a late U-turn saw him sign a new blockbuster deal at the Parc des Princes. Madrid were furious, and La Liga filed an official complaint to UEFA by saying that the “scandalous" agreement attacks the economic stability of European football.

But Ceferin has hit back, and dropped Madrid right in it as he claimed that their contract offer was similar to PSG's. And he also said that UEFA would not be told "what to do" as he called out the Spanish side.

In an interview with BBC Sport, Ceferin confirmed that UEFA operate under strict financial fair play rules, and said that PSG had not done any wrong doing in re-signing Mbappe. And the UEFA chief fired a warning to Madrid as he claimed that they would not be bossed around by Los Blancos.

Ceferin said: "Whoever will respect our rules is welcome to play in our competitions; who will not respect the rules will not. Look not Real Madrid or anyone else will tell Uefa what to do.

"They are outraged from one point of view and, as much as I know, their offer was similar to [PSG's] offer." Mbappe's new deal has now been outlined by Marca, who highlight that the Frenchman is currently the highest earning footballer.

They claim that Mbappe is now earning £42.5million (€50m) per annum, which is in addition to his bonus of £153million (€180m) for staying at the Parc des Princes. The 23-year-old now also has 100 percent control of his image rights.

But Ceferin's comments have made it awkward for Madrid if it is true that their contract offer was very similar,
