According to SPORT, Real Madrid are willing to pay £200 million to sign Kylian Mbappe without talking with Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite Mbappe’s exclusion from the Ligue 1 champions, neither team held talks this summer.
Since his comeback to the first squad, the 24-year-old has scored five goals in his first three games of the season.
Although there are rumors that Mbappe will sign a new deal with PSG, it is expected that Real Madrid will negotiate a pre-contract agreement with the player in January.
This will mean the France captain joins them for nothing when his PSG deal expires on June 30.
