PSG close to completing £163m deal for Mbappe

Paris Saint-Germain are “one step closer” to completing a £163million deal for Monaco striker, Kylian Mbappe.

According to Spanish newspaper, Marca, the Ligue 1 clubs have reached an agreement over Mbappe and that the deal only requires a seal of approval from the lawyers before it’s completed.

The clubs are exchanging documentation to finalise the transfer, after Monaco reluctantly agreed to negotiate with PSG over a deal for the 18-year-old.

It is claimed that Mbappe was pushed in the direction of PSG by his father, as he himself preferred a move to Real Madrid.

When made official, the deal with become the second most expensive transfer ever. A week ago, PSG shattered the world transfer record to sign Neymar from Barcelona for £198million.
