Kylian Mbappe has been on Real Madrid’s radar since quite some time now. He could be interested in a move if two of his conditions are satisfied by Perez.
Real Madrid are keen on replacing Cristiano Ronaldo at the earliest now. The Portugal international went to Juventus in July and Florentino Perez’s choice of relying on an in-house name has horribly backfired. There is a debacle at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and things are not looking good for Los Blancos.

The Whites currently sit fourth in La Liga Santander and are five points adrift of Barcelona, the table toppers. They have made it through to the final 16 of the Champions League, but that was also not without drama as CSKA Moscow beat them in each of their two fixtures against each other. Not to mention, Ajax Amsterdam could also claim a scalp in the last 16.
Los Merengues are doing a good job but their problem has been with finishing. As a result, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi have been linked with a transfer to the Spanish capital, as it Eden Hazard. Now according to reports, the France international Kylian Mbappe is ready to make his way to the Bernabeu but wants two conditions to go his way.
The first one of those is seeing Karim Benzema leave the club. His compatriot has scored 11 goals in all competitions this season and is doing a great job despite not scoring. Benzema is a loved one of every Real Madrid manager till date and so, Mbappe believes that his presence in the squad could hinder his chances.
The second one is a bit unrealistic and quite certainly one which is unlikely to be completed. Kylian Mbappe wants to become the highest paid player in the world and eclipse Lionel Messi who is on 500,000 euros per week. Mbappe does earn 320,000 per week at Paris but whether Real Madrid will bow down to his demands remains unclear and potentially impossible.
Nonetheless, Kylian Mbappe could move to Spain at a lesser wage and with Karim Benzema still staying at the club. Isco Alarcon has been linked with a transfer to Manchester City and Gareth Bale could be sold given his recent form as well. Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain will be forced to sell one of Neymar or Mbappe in order to come to terms with the FFP regulations laid down by UEFA and FIFA.
