Kylian Mbappe is one of the most coveted footballers on the planet and the Frenchman’s contract is running out in June this year. As a result, every big club wants to sign him and get the 22-year-old star on their books who can play at the top level for years.
Currently, he is playing for Paris Saint Germain after his 180 million euro transfer from Monaco. Mbappe has been in top form for PSG and will end up being the top scorer for the club in all competitions if he stays there for a few more seasons, but that seems unlikely.

Real Madrid and their outrageous bid for Mbappe
It’s the worst kept secret in football that Real Madrid want Mbappe. The Frenchman has been on their radar for quite a long time now, given his love for club legends, Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane. Moreover, they haven’t shied away from trying to get him either.
According to Giovanni Branchini, Madrid have made a bid for Mbappe for this winter transfer window.
“Real Madrid have made PSG a new €50M offer to sign Kylian Mbappé in the last few days. Now it depends on PSG, I don’t know what will happen,” the Italian super-agent said, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

This isn’t the first time Madrid have made an offer for Mbappe, as only six months ago, Madrid made a bid of almost 200 million euros to sign the Parisian forward. However, PSG rejected that offer and wanted to keep him for a longer time and possibly make him sign a new contract.

Meanwhile, Madrid plans to build a team around Mbappe and the name of another young superstar, Erling Haaland, is floating around. If it does happen, Madrid will have a super-team again as Mbappe and Haaland are two of the best forwards in the world currently.
