Football news portal Goal.com sources reveal that "Manchester City" is in advanced negotiations for the acquisition of Kylian Mbappe.
The young striker is also wanted by Madrid's "Real", so the leaders of the English club often talk to officials from "Monaco" and try to finalize the transfer as quickly as possible.
However, the "royal" club has a significant problem, as in order to make an official offer, they first need to sell Gareth Bale. Interestingly, possibly the only club capable of buying him - "Manchester United" - coach Jose Mourinho recently said that this transfer is impossible.
Seizing this opportunity, "Man City" has already established official contact and is now awaiting a response from "Monaco" vice president Vadim Vasilyev.
The French champions have clearly stated Mbappe's price - they will demand at least 150 million pounds. Considering that the 18-year-old is sought after by several wealthy individuals, this amount may ultimately increase.
Last week, "Monaco" threatened to report clubs that contacted the player without permission, but it seems that their relationship with "City" has not deteriorated, as they have already sold Benjamin Mendy to them.
The Manchester club is also very interested in Alexis Sanchez, but they were surprised by London's "Arsenal" position not to sell their leader to one of their main competitors for any money. According to sources, plans are now gradually being made to attract the Chilean for a bargain next summer.
