French world cup winner, Kylian Mbappe, is one of the best forwards on the planet and he is still only 23, with several more years left to play at the top level. As a result, if any transfer around him was to materialize, a huge amount of money would be involved.
Right now, Mbappe is playing for Paris Saint Germain, and his contract is going to end in six months. PSG paid a mind-whopping 180 million euros for him when he was just 17, to sign him from AS Monaco. As a result, they still want to keep their star player.
However, Mbappe has reportedly set his eyes on a move to Real Madrid, and the Spanish club are dead-set on getting their man. The club had tried and tested the waters with a 180 million euro bid last summer, but PSG didn’t budge and were sure that Mbappe would extend his contract, eventually.
