The man believed to be Paris Saint-Germain's next manager has now reportedly asked for a certain Real Madrid star to be included in any deal for Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe's future remains under a massive cloud of uncertainty, with it believed that PSG are desperately trying to sell him for a huge fee in this window, while the forward has insisted he will stay for the 2023/24 season and only leave as a free agent when his contract ends in June next year.

Real's desire to sign the France captain is no secret, although the Spanish club reportedly has no intention of negotiating with PSG and paying the reported asking price of €200 million (R4 billion) for his signature in the coming months.
However, with Real showing not keen to bargain with the French giants in this window, new manager-elect Luis Enrique, who is reportedly set to officially take charge of Les Parisiens soon, has seemingly offered a solution to the situation.
According to El Chiringuito de Jugones, if Mbappe is to make the switch to the Santiago Bernabeu, the Spanish coach wants Brazilian winger Rodrygo to arrive at the Parc des Prince as part of the deal.
It is further claimed, however, that Los Blancos currently have no desire to see the Selecao star leave Madrid in this window, but remains to be seen if PSG, who have insisted that Mbappe will not depart on a free deal next year, can convince them otherwise.
Enrique is expected to officially be announced as Christophe Galtier's replacement in the coming days, with the role set to be his first club job since leaving FC Barcelona in the 2015/16 campaign.
Zinedine Zidane, meanwhile, has revealed he would love to coach Mbappe amid reports that he could return to Spain next season when current boss Carlo Ancelotti's deal expires.
"When you are a coach, and you have a player like that, you want to train," Zidane said, according to Canal Supporters.
"Lots of things can happen. It could happen one day. In any case, I admire what he [Mbappe] does, like many people today.
"It's strong what he does; it's beautiful! He is a French player, he wears the jersey of the France team, so we are proud."
