The deal will see Mbappe overtake his France teammate Paul Pogba, who joined Manchester United for €100 million last year, to become the most expensive player in the history of football.

The 18-year-old grabbed headlines last season when he scored 26 goals in 41 appearances for the club in all competitions during his breakthrough season, guiding Monaco to the Ligue 1 title in 17 years and an impressive semi-final run in the Champions League.

Madrid were in the market for striker after Spaniard Alvaro Morata joined Premier League champions Chelsea for €65 million.
