Kylian Mbappe is an in demand striker. After breaking into the scene last season with Monaco, helping them win Ligue 1 and reach the Champions League semi-final, he’s on every top club’s radar.
Real Madrid, Arsenal, and PSG are three clubs linked with the 18-year-old forward. Monaco’s asking fee will likely price Arsenal out of the race despite Wenger’s interest. Real Madrid have been tipped as Mbappe’s probable destination due to their financial strength and appeal.
However, according to L’Equipe, PSG have taken a huge step towards signing the French starlet. According to the French tabloid, the Ligue 1 giants have already met with the player’s father.
Mbappe was also present in that alleged meeting, as well as PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and new sporting director Antero Henrique. Whether Monaco will be open to selling to a direct rival remains the big question.
Arsenal and Real Madrid won’t give up on the 18-year-old easily. The Gunners are reportedly ready to offer a world-record £125m bid for the forward, but the absence of Champions League football could be another obstacle for the north London outfit.
Los Blancos are believed to have expressed their desire for Mbappe. Furthermore, Zidane is rumored to have told the teenager that he is willing to sacrifice one attacker from his BBC trio to accommodate him.
