Real Madrid planning clear-out to raise Kylian Mbappe funds?

Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to sell six players in order to fund a deal for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.

The France international has just over 18 months remaining on his contract, a situation which has inevitably led to speculation regarding the World Cup winner's future.

Despite the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, Real are said to be ready to explore ways in which to get a £200m deal over the line.

According to AS, club officials will look to part ways with six players, including current Tottenham Hotspur loanee Gareth Bale.

The report claims that Los Blancos also hope to get Marcelo, Dani Ceballos, Isco, Brahim Diaz and Luka Jovic off their wage bill later in 2021.

While PSG have insisted that Mbappe is not for sale, the French outfit will have to consider a sale if the attacker does not pen fresh terms at Parc des Princes.
