Real Madrid must come up with a mammoth offer if they are to tempt Paris Saint-Germain into selling Kylian Mbappe this summer.
The French forward has been at the centre of a dramatic transfer saga which saw him banished from the first team before being welcomed back by boss Luis Enrique a few weeks later.
Mbappe, 24, has refused to sign a new contract with the Ligue 1 champions and is set to see out the final year of his deal before moving on in 2024.
There is a small chance that the World Cup winner could depart sooner but only if Madrid fork out more than £210million, according to Spanish sources.
It is a price that is unlikely to prompt the LaLiga giants into accelerating their interest in the No7 when they can simply wait for him to join for free next summer.
However, sources have indicated that they cannot rule out Los Blancos making a last-ditch effort to bring the superstar to the Santiago Bernabeu in the final days of the transfer window.
Mbappe notched 41 goals and 10 assists across all competitions last term but was left out of PSG’s pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea due to conflicts with the Qatari owners.
Tensions have since eased and the prolific marksman was on target in last Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Toulouse.
Manchester City are on the verge of signing highly-rated Rennes winger Jeremy Doku for £55.5m, according to ESPN.
90min report that Bayern Munich and Liverpool have both shown interest in Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
Football Transfers believe that Arsenal are plotting a move for Evan Ferguson in 2024 but Brighton want over £100m for the Irish striker.
