It’s real! Real Madrid bid Rs 139 crore for PSG’s Kylian Mbappe

Any sale of Kylian Mbappe would allow PSG to recoup some of the costs of Lionel Messi’s salary package after they signed the Argentina forward and six times Ballon d’Or winner from Barcelona earlier this month.

Real Madrid have made a 160 million euro (Rs 139.2 crore) bid for Paris St Germain’s France forward Kylian Mbappe, Spanish and French media reported on Tuesday (August 24). There was no immediate comment from either club. France’s L’Equipe said PSG’s position remained unchanged, with the Ligue 1 club determined to keep Mbappe until at least the end of his contract in June next year even if he could then leave for nothing. Spain’s Marca said the move was a first step by Real, who have long had their sights on the 22-year-old World Cup-winner who scored 42 goals in all competitions for PSG last season and has reportedly said he wants to move to Spain. The As.com website quoted Real sources as saying however that the fact money was not an issue for wealthy Qatar-owned PSG was an obstacle for Real. Confirmed. Real Madrid have made a formal bid for EU160m to sign Kylian Mbappe immediatly. NO green light from Paris Saint-Germain yet. [?] #Mbappe #RealMadrid
