Champions League winners Real Madrid have agreed a huge £161m fee with Monaco for Kylian Mbappe.

The 18-year-old French sensation will be loaned back to the French giants for one-year before heading to the Spanish capital.

It is understood Madrid will pay £143.5m plus £17.5m in add-ons including Champions League and La Liga wins.

He will sign a six-year deal with Zinedine Zidane’s side, according to Marca.

The Sun citing its sources claim he will pen a £120,000-a-week deal.

Mbappe is believed to have had ‘numerous’ conversations over the move with Zidane on the phone.

The switch will make the striker the most expensive player in football history.

The deal will eclipse the £89m deal which saw Paul Pogba move from Juventus to Manchester United in the summer of 2016.
