Manchester City are making a late bid to try to complete a world-record transfer for Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe, sources have told ESPN FC.
City are moving quickly to seal a potential £160 million move for the 18-year-old France international with Real Madrid also desperate to conclude a deal.
Spanish newspaper Marca has reported that Real and Monaco have an agreement in principle for the teenager.
But City are prepared to match any offer and any deal for the French star is certain to break the world record £89m spent by Manchester United for Paul Pogba last summer.
