Real Madrid are reportedly lining up a blockbuster world-record offer of €280m (£239.6m) for Paris Saint-Germain winger Kylian Mbappe.
Madrid are planning a significant overhaul of their squad this summer following a dismal campaign which has seen them eliminated from all trophy contention and go through three different managers.
Zinedine Zidane's return is thought to have come on the proviso that there will be major investment when the transfer window reopens, and the Frenchman has reportedly outlined Mbappe as his dream signing.
Any deal for the 20-year-old would need to smash the current transfer record of £200m, which PSG themselves paid to sign Neymar from Barcelona in 2017.
France Football claims that Madrid are preparing an offer of almost £240m in a bid to prise the World Cup winner away from the Parc des Princes, with negotiations due to start next week.
Separate reports have suggested that Mbappe has grown increasingly frustrated in the French capital due to a recent fine and PSG's early exit from the Champions League.
Mbappe has scored 26 goals in just 23 Ligue 1 appearances for PSG this season.
