Fans spot Kylian Mbappe note on Paris Saint-Germain boss Christophe Galtier’s notepad as talk of transfer to Real Madrid or Liverpool resurfaces
Paris Saint-Germain boss Christophe Galtier left a note regarding Kylian Mbappe in plain view of the watching world on Tuesday night.

While the meaning behind the message is open to interpretation, Galtier's note could be in relation to the high-profile fallout with the French forward.
Mbappe was left unhappy during PSG's 0-0 draw with Stade Reims last week after being utilised as a lone striker.
After the match, the 23-year-old shared a post on social media with the hashtag '#pivotgang' in relation to his frustrations at having to lead the line single-handedly.
Mbappe, though, prefers to play alongside a more traditional centre-forward.
That post has since been deleted, but reports of his unhappiness have kicked up another gear.
It's said that Mbappe is pushing for a January move away from PSG due to feeling 'betrayed' by the club, with Real Madrid and Liverpool once again linked with the player.

Sporting director Luis Campos has since denied reports that Mbappe is wanting to leave, telling Canal Plus: "I am with Kylian Mbappe every day. He has never talked to me about leaving in January.
"It's not a statement from the player, it's [from the press], and to have such information before a match like this is very serious.
"That's why I'm here, to deny and say clearly that Kylian Mbappe has never spoken to me or to the president [Nasser Al-Khelaifi] to leave PSG in January."
