Real Madrid are allegedly prepared to break the world transfer record in order to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.
While the World Cup winner still has over two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract, that has not halted speculation regarding a potential switch to the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane has not shied away from acknowledging his admiration for his French compatriot, while the 20-year-old has previously admitted that he is a fan of the legendary midfielder.
Despite PSG being keen to keep hold of Mbappe, Les Parisien claims that Real are ready to spend £343m in order to seal the services of the attacker.
Such a bid may prove too good to turn down for PSG, who are likely to make their own efforts to tie Mbappe down to an extended deal.
Real must make several player sales if they are to push through the transfer of the former Monaco man.
