Real Madrid again confident signing Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe

Real Madrid are confident of signing Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe.

The Sun says Real Madrid are convinced that they will be able to complete the signing of Mbappe for a record fee of €134 million see beat off competition from the Premier League.

Real Madrid will be able to pay the fee thanks to the sums banked through selling Álvaro Morata to Chelsea and the imminent sale of Danilo to Manchester City, which will raise around €102 million between them.

Florentino Pérez is feeling under pressure to land a galáctico after being re-elected president unopposed last month. However, the Madrid club has had to sell players to fund the move. Karim Benzema could be included in the deal to reduce the monetary fee.
