Real Madrid’s pursuit of Mbappe could indirectly help Tottenham – Report

Kovacic

According to reports, Real Madrid may be willing to sell Mateo Kovacic to Tottenham this summer in order to help fund a move to buy Kylian Mbappe from Monaco.

The 18-year-old Mbappe is regarded as one of the world’s best up and coming strikers after score 15 goals in the Ligue 1 last season and also becoming the youngest ever goal-scorer in a Champions League semi-final.

Monaco will not be willing to part ways with Mbappe easily and any club that wants to sign him, will have to be serious about doing business as they may have to fork out a sum of money in the region of €150 million.
