The 24-year-old attacker and Los Blancos find themselves in the midst of a transfer saga once again.
France's captain has expressed his intention to not renew with Paris Saint-Germain when his current deal ends in 2024, and it seems this news has caught the attention of the Spanish giants.
Club president Florentino Perez is believed to still be keen on signing the Bondy native, even claiming earlier this month that he plans on bringing the France international to the Santiago Bernabeu eventually.
However, given that Karim Benzema has left Los Merengues and Mbappe's non-extension news coming to light, the 14-time European champions' plans to acquire the skilful forward may be expedited.
According to L'Equipe, Real are willing to offer the newly crowned Ligue 1 champions €200 million (R3.9 billion) to secure the prolific winger's services.
This would make him the second-most expensive footballer ever, just behind the €222 million (R4.4 billion) his current side spent on Neymar in 2017.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has stated that the French giants do not intend to let their talisman go for free and will be looking to sell him in this window if he does not extend.
The forward himself has said that he wishes to continue playing at the Parc des Princes in the 2023/24 season, but the decision as to where he does end up playing in the next campaign seemingly rests with Les Parisiens.
