Pep Guardiola dismisses speculation Kylian Mbappe could join Man City - as he tells reporters 'you know where he wants to go'... with Real Madrid circling for the unsettled PSG star

Pep Guardiola has ruled Manchester City out of signing PSG's wantaway striker Kylian Mbappe, telling reporters 'you know where he wants to go.'

The Frenchman put elite clubs around the globe on high alert when it was confirmed last week that he would be extending his contract in Paris, making him a free agent next summer.

That move would in theory open the door for more clubs to entertain the possibility of purchasing one of the best players in the world and though Manchester City are in no way affected by that plight, Guardiola still believes the race to sign the Frenchman has already been won.
