UEFA Champions League holders, Real Madrid are set to make a late bid for Paris Saints-Germain star, Kylian Mbappe to replace Cristiano Ronaldo at the Santiago Bernabeu before the window closes on August 31.
Real made a decision to accept a £88million offer from Juventus for Ronaldo at the start of the summer, but has not replaced the 33-year-old yet.
But a Spanish newspaper, Marca, is reporting that the Los Blancos are preparing a move for Mbappe in the event that PSG are found to have violated UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
PSG have until Monday to act on the £160million purchase option in Mbappe’s contract, having originally signed the France international on loan from Monaco.
UEFA must resolve PSG’s FFP situation by August 30, and if they are in breach of the rules, they may be unable to sign Mbappe or forced to sell him as soon as they trigger their purchase option, potentially for a profit.
Mbappe gave 8 assists, scored 13 goals, in 24 starts for PSG last season.
