“In January, we will have news from Mbappe,” Perez told Spanish media outlet El Debate early on Tuesday. “We hope that on January 1 everything can be solved,” he added before going back on his statement. “My remarks were incorrectly interpreted,” he told French radio station RMC later in the day. 

“What I said was that we have to wait until next year to have news and still with the respect and good relationship with PSG that we have.” 

Mbappe’s deal at Parc des Princes ends next summer with the former Monaco attacker free to hold talks with potential employers in January.
