While transfer deadline day ends at 11.30pm on Tuesday, Real Madrid prefer to march to the beat of their own drum and haver decided that Paris Saint-Germain have until close of play today to accept their baffling £163m offer for Kylian Mbappé or the deal is off. The Rumour Mill is going to go out on a limb and guess that if the French side, for whom Mbappé scored twice in their win over Reims on Sunday night, fail to respond to Real Madrid’s “threat”, then the deadline might just be extended by another 24 hours.
