Monaco Threaten Clubs with FIFA Discipline over Kylian Mbappe Contacts

Monaco have threatened to report clubs who illegally approach striker Kylian Mbappe after releasing a statement claiming "important European clubs" have already made contact with the France international.

Per the club's official website, the Ligue 1 champions said:

"AS Monaco regretfully notice that important European football clubs made contacts with Kylian Mbappe (and his entourage) without its authorization.

"AS Monaco want to remind to these clubs that such actions are contrary to the article 211 of the Administrative regulation of the French Football League (Ligue de Football Professionnel) and to the article 18.3 of the Regulation of the Status and the Transfer of the Players of FIFA. 

"To put an end to this unacceptable situation, AS Monaco consider asking the French Football League (Ligue de Football Professionnel) and the FIFA to commit disciplinary procedures against clubs offenders."

Bryan Swanson of Sky Sports News shed light on Monaco's statement:

According to Marca (h/t Chris Davie of Metro), Mbappe recently left his future up in the air when asked if he would remain in the south of France.

Mbappe replied: "I don't know if I will stay."

Per Davie, Arsenal have had an £88 mllion bid for the attacker rejected after coach Arsene Wenger met with the player on June 14.
