Real Madrid will be trying to sign Kylian Mbappe during the summer. The France international has made his demands clear to the club in advance.

Real Madrid’s president Florentino Perez is planning a raid on Paris Saint-Germain and has made it publicly clear that he wants both- Neymar and Kylian Mbappe- playing at the club. But newly appointed coach Zinedine Zidane has vetoed the possibility of Neymar arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu and has hit sights set on bringing Mbappe to the White House.

Kylian Mbappe is the epitome of a deadly and venomous goal scorer who loves to antagonize the opponent’s defences. The 20-year-old had a very productive World Cup in Russia last year and has been able to take his form into the 2018/19 campaign- scoring 24 goals in league player- only second to Messi in the top five European leagues.

Zinedine Zidane believes that Real Madrid could be able to replace Cristiano Ronaldo if they manage to land Kylian Mbappe during the summer and is willing to spend a significant amount of his net 300 million euros’ transfer kitty on his compatriot. Mbappe appreciates interest from the defending European champions, but has made his demands clear to them.

The first one of those is that he gets to pick and choose the players who play around him and have a say in the club’s transfer negotiations. Moreover, he wants to be the central figure of the team and become the club’s best paid player. The other three demands could see Mbappe cashing in on 30 million euros as signing on bonus, have a house as well as a private aircraft provided by the club at his disposal.

While Kylian Mbappe has proven himself at the world’s biggest stage at just 19 and is a World Cup winner too, his demands are a bit too much given his age and experience. Not just Real Madrid, no other club will bow down to those and neither should the Whites. They should pay him well nonetheless and try to sign him, but prudently.
