Marca: Real Madrid can sign Kylian Mbappe for €225-230m this summer

According to Marca, the Mbappé soap opera has entered its final stretch. Now Real Madrid already knew that PSG want to sell Mbappe for around €250 million, and they are trying to lower the price and to pay €225-230m for the French star.

A few days before Real Madrid already knew that PSG has finally set a price for Mbappe's transfer. This is a figure very close to 250 million euros, which the player's mother, Faiza Lamary, has communicated the whole situation to Madrid chiefs. They are trying to lower it because it exceeds what they are willing to pay.

Paris Saint-Germain reportedly accepted a €300m offer from Saudi Arabia for Mbappe from Al Hilal, who would have given him a one-year deal with potential earnings reaching €700m for the French forward. But having rejected the idea, PSG have been forced to look elsewhere for a potential buyer.

There is no doubt that the buyer in question is Real Madrid, and PSG have set a price of €250m on Mbappe’s head if Los Blancos do want to make a move. Marca say that his mother and agent, as well as another representative Kia Joorabchian are trying to negotiate that price down to make a move more accessible for Los Blancos.

It had been mentioned in recent days that Real Madrid could end up paying around €225-230m for a deal, but that part of this money would be for Mbappe and his family. That would eclipse the record transfer of Neymar Junior to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona, costing €222m.

Regardless of the price tag PSG set, Real Madrid will no doubt try to negotiate the price down if they do indeed want to move for him this summer. For Real Madrid, with Mbappe seemingly set on moving to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer at the latest anyway, the only factors in play for them are
