PSG ‘meet Kylian Mbappe and father’ as Ligue 1 giants take giant step ahead of Real Madrid and Arsenal in pursuit of Monaco ace
President Nasser Al-Khelaifi and new sporting director Antero Henrique met striker and his dad to discuss a potential move
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have taken a major step in the race to sign Kylian Mbappe after they met with the 18-year-old and his father, according to reports.
The Monaco hotshot is one of the most sought-after footballers on the planet in this summer’s transfer window.
Real Madrid and Arsenal are both in the hunt for the France international.
But, L’Equipe report that PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and new sporting director Antero Henrique met Mbappe and his father to discuss a potential move.
The Gunners are reported to be preparing a world-record £125million bid for the forward.
However, he is known to be “obsessed” with the Champions League — and Arsenal only qualified for the Europa League after a fifth-place finish last season.
Mbappe is considered one of the hottest prospects for a generation and Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim admits he is preparing for the worst.
