Real Madrid could be on the verge of making a massive impact in this year’s summer transfer window after they reportedly made a principle agreement to sign Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe.
According to a Marca source, Los Blancos have made huge strides in their pursuit of the coveted French striker and have agreed on a deal with the Ligue 1 side worth €180m.
The deal would shatter the current transfer record held by Paul Pogba – who moved to Manchester United for £89m last year – and would be a huge statement of intent by Zinedine Zidane’s side.
The Champions League holders are on the look out for a new forward after selling Alvaro Morata to Chelsea in a £70m deal.
Los Blancos require a player just like Mbappe – who can play out wide or through the middle – and given the club’s financial standing, they would probably be foolish not to invest in world football’s finest prospect.
Who knows, in the coming weeks the 18-year-old could seal his mega-money move only to be trumped by Barcelona’s Neymar moving to Paris Saint-Germain for €222m. Crazy times right now in football.
