Paris Saint-Germain close to £128m Kylian Mbappe deal
Written by News on 21/08/2017
Paris Saint-Germain are close to agreeing a £128m deal to sign Monaco star Kylian Mbappe, according to Sky in Italy.
It is understood the deal includes Lucas Moura heading the other way and PSG are also trying to add Monaco midfielder Fabinho to take the total deal to over £200m.
Mbappe has been the subject of intense transfer speculation all summer, with interest from a string of top clubs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.
But Monaco said last month there would be "no more departures" from the Ligue 1 champions after an exodus of top stars and further interest in the likes of Thomas Lemar, Djibril Sidibe and midfielder Fabinho.
They also denied they had received a world record £161m offer from Real for the 18-year-old forward, who has shot to the top of world football in a single season.
Mbappe scored 26 goals and added eight assists last season as Monaco were crowned champions and advanced to the last four of the Champions League.
And Monaco have said they want him to sign a new contract, with talks having been held over fresh terms.
