Real Madrid want to see Kylian Mbappe all in white and they believe to have found the way to make it happen.

As reported by the Express, Monaco would not be willing to let Kylian Mbappe join the 'Blancos' for less than £120 million.

In order to face such a fee, Real Madrid would need to sell players to bump up their budget... and it looks like they know who. As reported by the mentioned source, the chosen footballer to leave the club would be Gareth Bale.

Manchester United and PSG have expressed their interest in Mbappe repeatedly, but Real Madrid have always remained firm in their intention of retaining the former Tottenham star.

However, despite signing a contract which keeps him at the Bernabeu until 2022, Zidane might have to let the winger go in order to secure the signing of Florentino Perez's desire.

Real Madrid could recoup the amount invested in the Welshman in 2013, which would allow them to meet Monaco's outrageous asking price for the teenage sensation.
