PSG sporting director Leonardo is angry with Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane over claims that Kylian Mbappe's "dream" is playing for the Spanish giants.

Real boss Zidane said he was aware it is the World Cup winner's "dream" to play for the club earlier this week.

"Honestly, it's a bit irritating, it's annoying, it's not the first time this has happened," Leonardo said.

"I think that now is not the time to talk about this.

"He is a player who has two-and-a-half years left on his contract with us, so to talk about what he wants, his "dream", every time... if we can just stop this, pause this talk.

"Kylian is a very important player for us. Now is not the time to destabilise him."
