Paris Saint-Germain, PSG,  duo Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, according to report, have  fallen out after Neymar criticised the club's “young people”.

Speculation over the future of both players has grown in recent weeks, with Real Madrid understood to be interested in big-money moves for either forward.

The Spanish giants have held a long-standing interest in the Brazilian international,  Neymar, while manager Zinedine Zidane reportedly views compatriot Mbappe as a dream transfer target.

The French international, Mbappe recently fuelled reports that he could leave by suggesting he wanted to either be the main man at PSG or could look elsewhere for a “new project”.

Sport claims that Madrid’s hopes of prizing one of the star duo away from the Parc des Princes have been boosted by a fallout between the pair stemming from comments Neymar made after his side's French Cup final defeat to Rennes.

Neymar hit out at the “young people” at PSG following that defeat, which saw Mbappe sent off before the French champions lost on penalties.

Neymar and Mbappe both joined PSG in the summer of 2017 for a combined fee of £364m.
