Real Madrid have a financial plan in place to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain, according to The Athletic.

Mbappe was linked with a move to Los Blancos as a free agent last summer before eventually deciding to stay.

He signed a two-year deal with PSG but there is still a chance he leaves in this transfer window.

That's because Mbappe recently declined an option to extend his contract by a further year.

This means that he will be able to leave as a free agent once again next summer.

PSG are reportedly unhappy with his decision and have offered him an ultimatum.

According to French outlet L'Equipe, the Ligue 1 champions want the 24-year-old to sign a new deal or they will look to sell him.

Mbappe to Real Madrid?

With Karim Benzema signing for Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad, Madrid are without a striker heading into the 2022-23 season.

And there have been reports that head coach Carlo Ancelotti is really concerned about the situation.

Los Blancos had been linked with a move for Chelsea's Kai Havertz but he now looks like he's going to Arsenal.

They could go after Harry Kane, who has just one year left on his Tottenham contract.

But Mbappe has been Madrid's dream signing for a long time, as he ascends towards being the best player in world football.

They would surely do everything in their power to sign him if the opportunity presents itself.
