Real Madrid 'still view Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe as top target'

Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe is viewed as Real Madrid's top transfer target ahead of next season, according to a report.

The France international has established a reputation as one of the most highly-valued players on the globe, and Zinedine Zidane's side are said to be keen on a deal for the striker.

Mbappe registered 18 goals in 20 Ligue 1 outings prior to the coronavirus suspension, but he has allegedly turned down two contract extensions with his current deal in the French capital set to expire in 2022.

According to Marca, Real are keeping a close eye on developments surrounding the 21-year-old, and Thomas Tuchel's side have reportedly halted contract talks due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

However, the report also suggests that both sides will be heavily affected by the ongoing viral outbreak, and Real could struggle to afford the World Cup winner should their profits suffer a significant fall.

Mbappe has netted 90 times in 120 games across all competitions for PSG since arriving from Monaco.
