Kylian Mbappe, Gianluigi Donnarumma 'Verbally Committed' to Real Madrid Transfer

Gianni VerschuerenJun 22, 2017

Talented youngsters Kylian Mbappe and Gianluigi Donnarumma have both given Real Madrid a verbal commitment, with manager Zinedine Zidane to decide whether the club will pursue the duo. 

That's according to Carlos Carpio of Marca, who reported Zidane will meet with club president Florentino Perez in the coming days.

While the Spanish press are optimistic about Real's chances of landing the duo, Italian and French media are less so. Gianluca Di Marzio (h/t Football Italia) reported Donnarumma is once again negotiating a contract extension with AC Milan, with his family eager to keep the talented goalkeeper at the club.

L'Equipe (h/t Get French Football News) reported similar news on Mbappe, who could become the highest-paid teenager in AS Monaco's history if he puts pen to paper on a new deal.

Both players impressed during the 2016-17 campaign and are regarded as future superstars.

Mbappe plies his trade for a talented Monaco squad that won the Ligue 1 title and made a deep run in the UEFA Champions League, but the team sells several of its top players on a yearly basis and may have peaked.

Milan are historic giants who have enjoyed a fine summer transfer window so far, but they haven't been a factor in Europe in years. While Donnarumma has professed his love for the club at every turn, his ambition could drive him to a more successful organisation.

Signing either player will be close to impossible if they agree to new contracts, with Monaco and Milan expected to hold out for monstrous transfer fees.

Per the Marca report, Mbappe is almost certain to cost more than €100 million, and Donnarumma won't be cheap. If the Italian doesn't sign a new deal, he could be had for roughly €35 million, however.
