Kylian Mbappe all-smiles in Monaco training as PSG target staggering £160m deal for French striker
Teenage sensation looks a step closer to forging a partnership with Neymar next season.
KYLIAN MBAPPE couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he trained with his Monaco team-mates.
But it might be because the French striker is set to earn a HUGE pay hike if he leaves for rivals Paris Saint-Germain.
The 18-year-old sensation is thought to be closing in on a switch to the mega-rich Ligue 1 side in a deal that could be worth £160million.
Real Madrid were keen on Mbappe but have baulked at his staggering wage demands.
According to respected Spanish journalist Hector Fernandez, Mbappe wanted £200,000-a-week to join the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos simply responded: “Congratulations and good luck in Paris.”
Zinedine Zidane's side appear to have turned their attentions elsewhere but PSG desperately want him to team up with the world's most expensive player, Neymar.
PSG’s players have been told Mbappe is set to be unveiled at the Parc des Princes as soon as Monday.
