Real Madrid will make a move to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe this summer, according to reports.
The La Liga giants have been heavily linked with a move for the France international in recent months.
The Bernabeu bigwigs have been crunching the numbers as they attempt to purchase a player who is widely regarded as a future Ballon d’Or winner.
Madrid believe PSG will look to sell Mbappe this summer if he does not sign a new deal, with an asking price of up to £142m.
Zinedine Zidane’s sell would have to raise funds for the transfer fee through player sales, or they could seek to bring down the price by offering players in part-exchange.
Meanwhile, PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino says he is confident the 22-year-old will remain in the French capital “for years to come”.
“There are a lot of rumours, but I think he will be at PSG for many years to come, and that's the club's hope,” Pochettino told Marca.
“We are counting on him for as long as we are here. It's true that he has to make a decision [on his future], but he seems happy and very committed to this project.”
