Manchester City are back in the race to sign Kylian Mbappe from Monaco, after it was reported that Real Madrid are closing in on the 18-year-old striker.
Goal claims senior City officials have been in contact with the Ligue 1 champions and are pushing to reach a speedy resolution.
The Blues have already made a formal approach and are now awaiting a response from Monaco vice-president, Vadim Vasilyev.
On Tuesday, popular Spanish outlet, Marca, reported that Madrid are determined enough to “pulverise” all transfer records, in their quest to land Mbappe.
It claimed Madrid “have reached an agreement in principle with Monaco for the transfer of Kylian Mbappe”.
The transfer would cost them an eye-watering €180 million in total, consisting of a €160m fee and an extra €20m in incentives.
Marca also adds that the previous world record fee, paid by Manchester United for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba last summer, “could be ancient history soon.”
