Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has moved to clarify comments about signing PSG striker Kylian Mbappe in January.

Mbappe's contract with PSG runs until the summer of 2022 and the France international will be free to negotiate about his future with any team from January 1.

"In January we will have news about Mbappe," Perez told El Debate.

"We hope that on January 1 everything can be solved."

However, shortly after, Perez came out to clarify what he had actually meant.

"My words were misinterpreted. What I said is that we have to wait until next year to hear from him, always with respect to PSG with whom we have good relations," he said.
