PSG willing to go 'all in and match any bid' from Arsenal and Real Madrid for Monaco starlet Kylian Mbappe

Arsenal and Real Madrid face an increasingly tough battle to sign in-demand forward Kylian Mbappe from Monaco, with Paris Saint-Germain prepared to match any bids for the 18-year-old.

Los Blancos were the early favourites to land the France forward, who scored 26 for the Ligue 1 champions least season.Ā But, with Zinedine Zidane's side stalling on a deal, PSG have demonstrated their commitment to signing Mbappe by pledging not to be outbid by their rivals.Ā 

According to Spanish newspaper AS, the French giants are willing to go toe-to-toe with both Madrid and Arsenal to land the striker. 'PSG all in for Mbappe,' their front page headline reads.

The news serves as a further blow for the Spanish outfit, after it emerged that PSG were also willing to give the forward a substantially bigger wage packet.


Unai Emery's sideĀ are prepared to offer ā‚¬12million (Ā£10.5m) a year to secure the siriker's services, double what Real are believed to have been prepared to pay.Ā 

Arsenal's transfer kitty was dented earlier this week by a club-record Ā£53million deal for former Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette.

But Mbappe remains a summer target for Arsene Wenger, who has a history of getting the best out of young French forwards.

They may struggle to land their man, however, withĀ PSG confident of usurping their rivals following talks with the striker's representatives.

The ongoing saga shows little signs of being resolved any time soon, despite reports that Madrid have told the forward he will be signed once they sell Alvaro Morata and James Rodriguez.
