Real Madrid are finally set to land long-term target Kylian Mbappe this summer, after reportedly agreeing to a \u20ac250m transfer fee with PSG for the French forward.<\/p>\n

Last week, reports emerged suggesting Mbappe told PSG\u00a0he will not trigger the option to extend his contract until 2025, meaning he will be available on a free transfer next summer.<\/p>\n

Unwilling to lose him for nothing, the French champions are apparently willing to sell him this transfer window, though\u00a0Mbappe himself is adamant he will still be playing his football in the French capital for the 2023\/2024.<\/p>\n

In recent developments, Mbappe wants to join Real Madrid\u00a0this summer,\u00a0the 24-year-old has been in negotiations with the white angels in Spain.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid have constantly targeted the 24-year-old in the past few summer windows, but so far to no avail. That finally looks set to change, though, with the world transfer record looking set to be shattered in the coming weeks as Real Madrid and PSG have agreed a deal worth \u20ac250m.<\/p>\n

Neymar is currently the most expensive player in history, costing PSG \u20ac222m when he joined them from Barcelona in 2017.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The French outlet is reporting that officials from PSG and Real Madrid held a meeting on Wednesday to discuss a potential transfer, with negotiations “accelerated”. The report also states that PSG owner and the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Than, and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez have since come to an agreement by exchanging messages.<\/p>\n

Mbappe will initially cost \u20ac200m, despite having just a year remaining on his current deal, with Real Madrid having to pay another \u20ac50m in bonus-related payments if Mbappe’s performances yield certain trophies and individual accolades, such as the Ballon d’Or.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Karim Benzema joining Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad\u00a0and with Vinicius Jr. occupying the left-wing role, Mbappe would likely become Madrid’s new striker.<\/p>\n

Joselu has recently signed at the Bernabeu as well, which could allow the Frenchman to operate from a slightly wider starting position rather than with his back to goal, something he outspokenly doesn’t enjoy doing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
