PSG name record asking price for Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappe: Reports
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have reportedly put a €250 million price tag on Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappe. The Ligue 1 side want the striker sold this summer but not for cheap.
As per a report in MARCA, Mbappe's future will be decided in the next few weeks. PSG remain adamant that they will not let him play for the club this season unless he pens a new deal.
However, the forward has no plans to extend his contract and wants to leave on a free transfer next summer. He has already informed the French champions that he will not be activating the one-year extension in his current deal.
Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal have tabled a €300 million offer for Mbappe and PSG have accepted it. But the player has no interest in moving to the Saudi Arabian side, even on a one-year deal.
