Real Madrid make £84.7m move for striker: He wants deal, could be biggest of summer
REAL MADRID are plotting an £84.7m move for Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe.
Kylian Mbappe already had INCREDIBLE skills as a 10-year-old
Mbappe, 18, is regarded as one of the hottest talents on the planet and he’s unsurprisingly interested Europe’s big boys.
The two Manchester giants – United and City – are both tracking the teenager, who is already a full international with France.
But Marca claim it is Real who have upped the ante in the transfer race.
They report Madrid chiefs have approached the frontman with a huge £84.7m bid mooted.
Mbappe has previously pledged to stay at Monaco – for now – but Marca say a deal could even be done this summer.
Mbappe has already made it clear that he wants to move to Real Madrid when he does leave Monaco.

The whizzkid has already come close to joining Real before when he left France’s famous Clairefontaine academy.
Real manager Zinedine Zidane revealed last month: "He was almost signed by Madrid, but he went to Monaco.
"We know he is very good, at his age he is doing something fantastic."
