Real Madrid could be ready to pay a world-record transfer fee to secure the services of Paris Saint-Germain ace Kylian Mbappe at the end of the season. Speculation linking Mbappe with a move to Los Blancos has been raging for some time now, and Real boss Zinedine Zidane has done little to dispel all the rumours.
If anything he has added fuel to the fire by admitting he is a big admirer of the 20-year-old, who continues to go from strength-to-strength for the Parisians.
Mbappe has also spoken of his admiration of Zidane, and given the opportunity, it is thought he would jump at the chance of a move to the Bernabeu.
Reports are growing that the chance could come at the end of the season, with Real ready to splash out a massive £343million to get the deal done.
PSG are desperate to keep hold and are thought to be ready to offer the player a bumper new deal in the hope he will snub Real’s advances in favour of staying in Paris.
Even so, if Real did make such a sizeable offer, it is hard to imagine they would be able to turn it down.
They are already said to be lining up possible replacements and could be coming to terms with the fact that Mbappe will be on the move in the summer.
To fund such a deal, Real would also have to cash in on a number of players, and it looks like being another hectic year for Los Blancos.
