Real Madrid to launch a late Kylian Mbappe swoop: Reports

If a report in Bild is to be believed, Real Madrid could tease PSG with a late offer for Kylian Mbappe. Madrid's admiration of the 24-year-old is an open secret but so far they haven't made any concrete offers for the player. Mbappe had refused to sign a contract extension and can still leave the club on a free transfer if the current situation persists

Earlier Luis Enrique hinted he is ready to work with the player at Parc des Princes. "Kylian is in great shape, he has a lot of desire, a very good state of mind. I am very happy to have a world-class player like Kylian."

Mbappe also rejected a world record move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal which would have made him world's highest paid footballer by a mile. However, Mbappe's imminent future still seems to be in the doldrums as Los Blancos might renew their interest further this summer.

Will PSG sell Kylian Mbappe late in the summer?

Madrid witnessed the departure of Karim Benzema who joined the reigning Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad and Mbappe could fill in his boots. The World Cup winner has scored galore of goals but has failed to taste success on the European front. Madrid have been one of the most successful teams in the Champions League and could offer Mbappe the ideal environment to thrive on the pitch.
