​According to French news outlet Telefoot (via Metro) Manchester City have offered Monaco € 130 million to sign Mbappé who has netted 26 goals in all competitions this season.

​Real Madrid are reported to have offered just as much with Mbappé’s compatriot Raphael Varane who has backed his France teammate to join the Merengues in the summer.

“He’s an amazing player with a great potential”, Varane told Telefoot.

“It would be great to play with him at Real Madrid, I am sure we’ll have a chance to talk at [France Training Ground] Clairefontaine.”
