'Real Madrid must be punished!' - Mbappe pursuit continues to infuriate PSG sporting director Leonardo

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo affirmed that he is furious at Real Madrid's continued pursuit of Kylian Mbappe, which he believes should be punished.

The French giants turned down a mammoth €220 million (£189m/$260m) bid for Mbappe over the summer, with the 22-year-old's contract up in 2022.

And Leonardo believes that Madrid have made illegal contact with the striker in order to convince him to move for free at the end of the season.

What's been said?

"At Madrid they are denying it, but I think that Real Madrid have been trying to sign Mbappe [as a free agent] for a while," the Brazilian told Gazzetta dello Sport.
