Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez hints at Kylian Mbappe arrival

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has teased that speculation regarding signing Kylian Mbappe "could be true".

Mbappe now has less than two months remaining on his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, increasing the chances of him departing Parc des Princes at the end of the season.

While the French giants are said to be doing everything possible to retain the services of their key player, Perez has acknowledged that Real will rival PSG in the race for his signature.

Speaking to Movistar, Perez said: "I hadn't thought about it but now that you mention it, it might be true and so on When we plan next year's squad, we'll see."

PSG are allegedly prepared to pay Mbappe as much as £800,000 per week in order to keep him at the club, a figure which will not be matched by Real.

Nevertheless, the 23-year-old, who has netted 30 goals in all competitions this season, is said to be open to a new challenge.
