Real Madrid want Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe. The reason is easy to understand – at only 18, he is tearing apart defenses and outscoring several of his seniors.
The young Frenchman is high up on Zidane’s wish list, with his recent two-goal haul vs. Dortmund in the Champions League quarter-final showing he can perform on the big stage. However, playing for Monaco is not the same as playing for Real Madrid, a worry weighing heavily in Los Blancos’ mind.
According to Marca, the 11-time Champions League winners are “making an approach” for Mbappe, also rumored to be a target of the Premier League. The Spanish news outlet claim that Les Merengues has one huge advantage over the competition: Mbappe favors a Bernabeu move.
Monaco have no need to cash in on their promising forward. Furthermore, the player is believed to favor a Ligue 1 stay. However, if he were to leave, it would only be for Real Madrid.
Zidane is eager on landing the forward this summer, but waiting another season before signing the kid could be a possibility. The 18-year-old won’t come cheap – there is speculation that Mbappe could go for 100 million euros.
