Real Madrid president Florentino must convince Zidane to beat PSG to Mbappe

AS Monaco whizkid Kylian Mbappe still favours a move to Real Madrid over PSG.

There's claims in Spain of Monaco and PSG agreeing a €180m fee for the teen, however in France both clubs are now denying the story.

Meanwhile, Diario Sport says Mbappe still hopes to join Real - but has some conditions for president Florentino Perez to meet before agreeing a switch.

The teen accepts he cannot be guaranteed a place in coach Zinedine Zidane's starting XI, but wants equal treatment with Real's other attacking players.

However, Zidane prefers a senior heirarchy and would rather introduce Mbappe gradually than throw him in the deep end.

The France international argues his numbers last season were better than Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, but Zidane is adamant his senior players will start the season ahead of any new arrival.
