Madrid set for world record Mbappe pursuit after Morata sale

The young France forward is the top target for Los Blancos after they sold the Spanish striker to Chelsea this week, but Monaco do not want to sell

SPECIAL REPORT

Real Madrid are ready to test Monaco's resolve with a world-record bid for Kylian Mbappe after selling Alvaro Morata to Chelsea this week.

Monaco are determined to keep the 18-year-old striker and are lining up a new deal which will make him the highest-paid player at the club alongside Radamel Falcao.

Mbappe has recently taken the number 10 shirt and he has been advised that staying at Monaco is the wisest decision in a season before the World Cup, in which he will hope to feature for France in Russia next summer.
