PSG Transfer News: Kylian Mbappe Offer Reportedly 'Upwards' of €135M

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly made it clear to Monaco they are prepared to offer more than €135 million (£118.7 million) to sign striker Kylian Mbappe this summer.

According to Jonathan Johnson of ESPN, the Paris club's new sporting director, Antero Henrique, has made 18-year-old Mbappe a key target, and there is "significant appeal" for the youngster in returning to his place of birth.

Johnson added that Henrique has twice been in touch with Mbappe's father Wilfried, while PSG have "reminded" Monaco they are one of only a handful of clubs who could meet their valuation of the forward, and perhaps even exceed €135 million.

A breakout 2016-17 season—in which Mbappe made a major contribution to Monaco's Ligue 1 triumph and UEFA Champions League exploits, per Squawka—has made him one of the most in-demand players on the planet.

Real Madrid have been heavily linked with him, and Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane has even reportedly contacted the France international, per L'Equipe (via Get French Football News):

However, PSG are now seemingly also firmly in the frame to snap him up.

Per Johnson, the French club believe Mbappe could be the player to "rejuvenate their chances of winning major honours."

PSG crashed out of the UEFA Champions League last season at the last-16 stage and were beaten to the Ligue 1 title by eight points by Leonardo Jardim's Monaco side, having won the previous four in succession.
