Real Madrid have offered midfielder Mateo Kovacic to Tottenham to raise funds for their summer pursuit of Monaco ace Kylian Mbappe.

The London Evening Standard claims that Spurs are interested in a summer move for the Croatian and their pursuit could be helped by Real's desperation to sign the French teenager.

Real Madrid are reportedly involved in a three-way battle with PSG and Arsenal for the 18-year-old, who is expected to cost a world-record fee.

Meanwhile, Kovacic, who made just 19 league starts last season, is expected to fall further down the pecking order at the club following the arrival of Dani Ceballos from Real Betis.
