Monaco consider taking action against “major” European clubs for speaking with Kylian Mbappe

The 18-year-old has emerged as arguably the most sought after player in Europe following a remarkable 2016/17 campaign for the Ligue 1 champions as he netted 26 goals across all competitions.

Arsenal, Real Madrid as well as Paris Saint-Germain are just a few of the clubs that have publicly expressed an interest in the France international over the past couple of months, with a world-record big touted in order to land his signature.

However, their public courting of Mbappe has resulted in Monaco taking legal action against two clubs. According to Sky Sports, the two being accused of unauthorised contact are Manchester City and PSG, but not the Gunners.

AS Monaco notes with regret that “major” European football clubs have had multiple contacts with Kylian Mbappé (and his entourage) without the permission of the club.
“As Monaco intends to remind these clubs that such actions are contrary to Article 211 of the Professional Football League Regulations and to Article 18.3 of the FIFA Regulations and Status of Players Regulations.
“In order to put an end to this unacceptable situation, AS Monaco is considering asking the Professional Football League and FIFA to institute disciplinary proceedings against the offending clubs.’
