Mbappe receives a fresh call from Real Madrid

Real Madrid have not given up their pursuit of Kylian Mbappe and they have called the striker once again.On Wednesday, Los Blancos sent out another clear message of intent to the Monaco forward as they look to reaffirm their interest, ahead other possible suitors.The 18-year-old has made it clear that he will be the decider of his own fate and that he'll choose where he plays his football in the upcoming 2017/18 season.Both Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are amongst the other admirers of the young Frenchman, despite the player's value reaching over 140 million euros.Mbappe will return to training next week, although it is increasingly likely that it will be under the supervision of his current coach Leonardo Jardim, as opposed to Zinedine Zidane.Owner of the Monte Carlo-based club Dmitry Rybolovlev was made aware of the player's desire to switch to the Spanish capital by the striker himself during his holidays, but there is a current open-mindedness to holding talks with other clubs, with the young prodigy still having the final say. After a call from Arsenal last week and with the English club having since secured the services of Alexandre Lacazette, PSG now stand as the Champions League winners' main rivals for the desired signature.Despite owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi having the upper hand economically, the side from LaLiga have promised the player instant playing time in the team.Although they also made it clear that the Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo connection will not be broken up after recent success, the idea that the BBC front three is untouchable has been diminished and space will be made available to those who are worthy.
