Real Madrid have reportedly banned any talk within the club of Kylian Mbappe's proposed move to the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos were supposedly willing to fork out more than £197m to sign the striker from Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day, but Les Parisiens stalled over a move and Mbappe remained in the French capital.
With Mbappe due to become a free agent at the end of the current campaign, the World Cup-winning Frenchman is widely expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer in 2022.
However, El Chiringuito claims that Carlo Ancelotti's side have banned discussions over Mbappe's proposed arrival inside the club, with players and staff not permitted to talk about the transfer in training facilities or in corridors.
The report adds that Real Madrid are keen to avoid any unwanted distractions while they focus on their on-the-pitch endeavours in La Liga and the Champions League.
However, PSG are still hopeful of agreeing a new contract for Mbappe, who has started the 2021-22 Ligue 1 season with four goals and two assists from five matches.
