Kylian Mbappe 'ready to take pay cut to join Real Madrid'

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe is reportedly willing to take a pay cut in order to join Real Madrid this summer.

The 23-year-old's future at the Parc des Princes remains uncertain as his current contract is set to expire on June 30.

Real Madrid have been strongly linked with a move to sign Mbappe, with one report claiming that the La Liga champions are optimistic about their chances of recruiting the France international this summer.

According to Marca, Mbappe is planning to join Real Madrid this summer and is prepared to take a pay cut on his current wages in order to complete his switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.

The report adds that the Frenchman has been open to the prospect of staying at PSG, but the forward is yet to be convinced by the club's 'sporting project' and he now intends to pursue a fresh challenge with Los Blancos.

Mbappe has excelled in front of goal in the 2021-22 campaign, netting 35 times and providing 23 assists in 43 appearances for PSG across all competitions.
