Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe will not allow talk
over a move to Real Madrid distract him from his
club's bid for Ligue 1 glory.
Leonardo Jardim's side took another big step
towards their first French top-flight crown since
2000 with a 3-0 win at relegation-threatened
Nancy on Saturday.
Mbappe rested up on the bench before coming on
as a late substitute, with Jardim keeping an eye on
Tuesday's Champions League semi-final return at
Juventus and the need for an improbable
comeback from 2-0 down.
The 18-year-old has 24 goals across all
competitions this season and his explosive form in
2017 has turned heads across Europe.
A clutch of leading clubs have been linked with a
mega-money move for Mbappe and Madrid boss
Zinedine Zidane recently hailed "a sensational
season" from the youngster.
Nevertheless, the player who won his maiden
senior cap for France in March is focused solely on
finishing the job of breaking Paris Saint-Germain's
stranglehold on Ligue 1.
"We have a common goal and I really want to win a
title with my club," Mbappe told reporters.
"So far, nothing has disturbed me and I will have
two months, two and a half months, to take stock
of what I'm going to do. So, no, these rumours do
not affect me.
"I am sent everywhere, I try to step back and
concentrate on the end of the season."
Monaco are three points above PSG at the top of
Ligue 1 with three matches remaining, their rivals
having played a game more.
