Kylian Mbappe’s move away from Monaco this summer is on, according to reports.
The French sensation says he ‘only wants to play for Real Madrid‘ if he isn’t playing in Ligue Un next season.
Mbappe has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu as well as a switch to Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, following his stunning season last term.
The striker netted 26 goals in all competitions last season – helping Monaco to a surprise Ligue 1 title.
According to Marca, the 18-year-old’s desire is to join Los Blancos and if Cristiano Ronaldo departs it could speed up Mbappe’s move to the La Liga champions.
Marca are widely considered as Real Madrid’s mouthpiece, so the gossip might be being used to calm fears of Cristiano Ronaldo’s potential departure.
Ronaldo is looking to leave Madrid this summer as he believes he’s received a lack of support from the club after he was accused of tax fraud.
Mbappe has been valued at over £100million which would make him the most expensive player in the world and he could become Zinedine Zidane’s next Galactico.
