Kylian Mbappe has been in the form of his life of late and has shown his excellence in helping his side win the French Ligue 1 title after a long gap of 17 years. He has also been one of the major factors to make his club reach the semi-finals of last season’s Champions League.
His brilliant display has made a number of clubs from all over Europe, including the likes of Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United show interest in the 18-year-old French striker to sign him for the next season. However, recent reports state that the Spanish giants Real Madrid are considered to be the front-runners to bag the mercurial marksman for their squad this summer.
Real Madrid have themselves been having a winning streak in the recently concluded season and have won both the Spanish La Liga title as well as the Champions League. Their current coach Zinedine Zidane, is looking to build on the success for the next season and is eyeing a top class striker like Mbappe to be the part of his squad. He has also been a great admirer of his compatriot youngster’s skills and wants him in the side to strengthen it even further.
The French mastermind is also in pursuit of a player who can be the perfect replacement for his side’s influential Spanish striker Alvaro Morata, who looks destined for Manchester United in the summer, and in the current circumstances, Mbappe looks to be the one to fit his bill completely.
As per sources, the Spanish champions have already held talks about the transfer of the sensational forward, who scored an amazing 19 goals this season to bring glory to himself as well as his club Monaco. The two clubs have already met to discuss the availability of the French starlet for the new season and might come to a conclusion before the transfer window closes.
However, some reports are also indicating towards the fact that the French club is in no mood to let go off their prized possession in the new season and wants him to spend some more time at the club. The demand for a world record transfer fee of £118 million is evident of the fact that they are keener in warding off the potential suitors and make Mbappe stay with them.
Sources are also suggestive that the man of the moment, Mbappe, might put his verdict to stay back with the club as he is guaranteed a spot in the starting XI.
