Real Madrid have entered the race to sign Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe, according to Spanish publication AS.
Mbappe has established himself as the most sought after attacking talent on the continent following some superb displays for the Ligue 1 side this term in both the league and Champions League.
The 18-year-old, who has been likened to former Arsenal hero Thierry Henry, has a lengthy list of admirers in Europe, with the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and the Gunners all keen on the teenager.
The trio, among others, however will face stiff competition from Real Madrid in the race to secure Mbappe’s signature, should Monaco sanction his sale.
The French outfit will command a top fee for Mbappe and it’s only likely that a world record fee for a teenager would convince the club to sell.
Only Dele Alli and Timo Werner (both 14) have scored more goals than Mbappe (12) of players aged 21 and under in Europe’s top five leagues this season, while a conversion rate of 32.4% is the best of the 59 players to score 10 or more league goals across the top divisions of European football this term.
