Real Madrid are preparing to make a fresh approach to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé in January, according to The Athletic.

Just days remain before the 25-year-old will enter the final six months of his deal, when clubs from outside of Ligue 1 will be able to sign him without a transfer fee on a pre-contract agreement.

Los Blancos are set to make one more attempt to land him but, after coming close to getting a deal over the line before he signed new terms with PSG in the summer of 2022.

They have given him a deadline of mid-January to decide whether he wants to make the switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Should Mbappé not accept the offer from the LaLiga side, it is said that they will withdraw their interest to focus on other options.
