Kylian Mbappe transfer news: Mbappe to Real Madrid may see PSG splash the cash on Kane

While Kane remains a top target for PSG, his move to the Parc des Princes depends on whether the reigning Ligue 1 champions decide to sell Kylian Mbappe over the summer. Mbappe, who is leading the goalscoring charts in the French league this season, is yet to agree a contract extension with PSG. The Frenchman's current deal expires in the summer of 2022 and PSG might opt to cash in on the World Cup winner this summer rather than lose him for free next year.

Mbappe has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, to work with compatriot Zinedine Zidane. Reports claim that PSG have slapped a £175 million price tag on Mbappe, with Liverpool also in the hunt to sign the 22-year-old. The French giants are looking for an alternative if Mbappe leaves and will reportedly continue to monitor Harry Kane's situation at Spurs.

However, reports also claim that Manchester United and Manchester City are keeping tabs on Kane if he's available in the summer. It now remains to be seen whether Kane will opt to stay put at Tottenham amid their current crisis or opt for greener pastures at the end of the season. Kane has scored 156 goals in 228 Premier League games for Spurs, who are currently languishing in ninth on the Premier League table.
