'I only want to play for Madrid'

As reported by Spanish daily 'Marca', the French youngster expressed his desire to exit the reigning Ligue 1 champions.

'I only want to play for Real Madrid'. Mbappe showed a very radical posture when communicating his wishes to the sporting directors at Monaco.

Real Madrid have followed the player over the last few months, and Florentino Perez seems ready to make a move for the French starlet.

'Marca' also underlined the one doubt on the striker's mind. At such a young age, Mbappe is unsure whether it is the right moment to leave the club which propelled him to stardom. However, he would only contemplate following through in order to be managed by Zidane.

The France international's situation could accelerate if Cristiano Ronaldo finally leaves the Santiago Bernabeu. Rumours place CR7 away from La Liga, which could bring Mbappe closer to the Spanish capital.
