Real Madrid 'have funds in place to sign Kylian Mbappe'

Real Madrid reportedly have the budget to make a big-money signing in next summer's transfer window, with Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe said to be at the top of the club's list.

The 20-year-old, who has scored 62 times in 91 appearances for PSG in all competitions, has a contract in the French capital until the summer of 2022.

Los Blancos are believed to have identified the France international as the perfect signing, though, with head coach Zinedine Zidane desperate to bring his countryman to the Bernabeu.

According to AS, Madrid's accounts have revealed that the capital giants are in a position to spend big on a galactico-style signing ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

The report claims that the 33-time Spanish champions favour a move for Mbappe over Neymar, who is still said to be determined to secure a return to Barcelona after a host of speculation.

Mbappe has scored twice in four appearances for PSG this season, but a hamstring problem will rule the 2018 World Cup winner out of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Zidane's side.
