Monaco wonderkid Kylian Mbappe subject of world-record offer with Real Madrid and Manchester City part of bidding war.

AS Monaco are confident of securing a world record transfer fee for Kylian Mbappe as a bidding war continues for their teenage forward.

The principality club has already fielded an offer of €130million for the France international, according to informed sources, and fully expects that figure to be surpassed.

Mbappe’s performances in Monaco’s unexpected ascent to the summit of Ligue 1 and a Champions League run that looks unlikely to end at the quarter-finals have attracted the interest of all of Europe’s major clubs.

A run of 15 goals in 11 starts since the beginning of February – including four in three matches against Champions League knock-out round opponents Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund – has sent the offers cascading upwards.
