Real Madrid have been chasing Kylian Mbappe all summer and it looks like a deal could happen before the summer transfer window ends. Los Blancos seem to be in a position to afford Mbappe this summer after seeing Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane leave that freed up some wage budget.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is keen to make Kylian Mbappe his latest 'Galactico' signing before the transfer window slams shut.

Real Madrid desperate to land Kylian Mbappe before the end of the window

Real Madrid seem desperate to sign Kylian Mbappe in the remaining few hours of the summer transfer window. According to Sky Sports, Real Madrid are now considering raising the bid for Kylian Mbappe to a monstrous €200 million.

According to the aforementioned source, Real Madrid have already made a bid of €170 million plus €10 million add-ons for the 22-year-old forward. However, the Los Blancos are now preparing another deal of €170 million plus €30 million add-ons in case PSG turn down their first offer.

Kylian Mbappe has already informed PSG about his intentions to leave the Ligue 1 giants for Real Madrid. The World Cup winner has entered the final year of his PSG contract and has made it clear that he does not wish to pen a new deal.

If Real Madrid fail to land Mbappe before the end of the transfer window, Los Blancos could negotiate a pre-contract with the former Monaco forward in January. It will see Mbappe join Real Madrid on a free transfer come next summer.

As things stand, Real Madrid have no competition hindering their chances of signing Kylian Mbappe, be it this summer or next.

Real Madrid are considering raising their offer for Kylian Mbappe to €200m in the next two hours.
