Real Madrid have not made "any kind of offer" for Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar, the Spanish club have said in a statement.

Television Espanola (TVE), a state-owned public service broadcaster in Spain, claimed that a bid of €310million (£274.43m) had been made for the Brazil international.

Madrid, who have won the last three Champions League titles, denied the reports as "outright false" on their official website.

The statement read: "Given the information issued tonight by TVE on a supposed offer of Real Madrid to PSG and player Neymar, Real Madrid CF said that this information is outright false.

"Real Madrid has not made any kind of offer to PSG or the player.

"Real Madrid is surprised that Spanish public television has been able to broadcast absolutely false information without anyone from this medium having contacted any of the parties to contrast the alleged information that could easily have been denied."
