Spanish giant Real Madrid on Tuesday formally made a bid for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.

Ace sport journalist, Fabrizo Romano, disclosed this in a tweet, adding that however, Paris Saint-Germain was yet to consider Madrid’s bid for Mbappe.

“Confirmed. Real Madrid have made a formal bid for €160m to sign Kylian Mbappé immediately. NO green light from Paris Saint-Germain yet,” Romano tweeted.

Should PSG accept Madrid’s offer, Mbappe will become the most expensive player in the world.

Mbappe, whose contract with PSG ends next summer, has rejected three offers to extend his contract with the French side.

Mbappe, 22, has won three league titles with PSG. In 2018, he won the World Cup with France and also emerged as 2018 FIFA World Cup Best Youngest Player.
