Real Madrid is looking to complete the transfer of Kylian Mbappe in the next two weeks, ESPN reports. Los Blancos want to complete the transfer before the start of Spanish La Liga and are aware that they will have to spend at least 200 million euros.
Mbappe has already agreed his personal contract with the club until June 2029. The contract of Jude Bellingham, who was brought in this summer, has the same duration.
In addition, Mbappe’s transfer is considered key from a sporting point of view, as Carlo Ancelotti now has only one striker – Joselu. At the same time, Real Madrid’s number 9 shirt is available after Karim Benzema’s departure.

Real Madrid want to arrange the transfer as soon as possible as they believe that in a year’s time, when Mbappe becomes a free agent, several Premier League clubs will offer him better personal terms.
