Real Madrid to pay €400m for Kylian Mbappe

Real Madrid are considering the possibility of making a world-record €400 million bid for Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe, Le Parisien reports.

The youngster has been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu on several occasions over the years, especially towards the end of his tenure with Monaco. In the end, he made the jump to PSG, but now the Ligue 1 champions face a battle to keep him within their ranks.

This proposed figure for a potential deal, which is tipped to take place during next summer's transfer window, would nearly double the current record set by PSG when they purchased Neymar from Barcelona for €222m back in 2017.

As reported on Tuesday, PSG are ready with a move for Madrid's Vinicius Junior should Real Madrid steal away Mbappe, proving what we already knew: All's fair in the global transfer market.
