KYLIAN MBAPPE is willing to take a pay cut in order to seal his dream move to Real Madrid.

Kylian Mbappe has made his desire to join Real Madrid clear in recent months after PSG once again crashed out of the Champions League.

Part of the 20-year-old’s desire to leave is down to Neymar’s position as the key player in the PSG squad, a role Mbappe believes he can play in Madrid.

Spanish outlet Marca have now claimed that the former Monaco striker is so determined to join Zinedine Zidane’s Madrid, that he would be willing to take a pay cut to do so.

The report adds that Mbappe will not stay at PSG for any sum of money and will leave before signing new deal.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi tried to cool down the interest in his young star by saying he wouldn’t be sold, but the player holds the power despite having three years left on his current deal.

Mbappe made his thoughts clear when he collected the Ligue 1 Player of the Year award earlier this month, and hinted that he may decided to force a move if he isn’t given more responsibility.

He said: “It's very important moment for me, I come to a turning point in my career.

"I have discovered a lot here, and I feel it is perhaps the moment to have more responsibility.

"I hope that can maybe be at Paris Saint-Germain, that would be a great pleasure, or perhaps elsewhere with a new project.”

PSG boss Thomas Tuchel admitted shortly after that both Neymar and Mbappe could leave the club this summer, but made his opinion on wanting them to stay clear.

Speaking at a press conference, he said: “As a coach, I do want them to continue, but this is football, we are not naive.

"Many clubs want to transfer many players and the market is crazy, but if you ask me, the coach, yes, I want them here next season.

"But if they are not, we will find solutions.”

PSG bought Mbappe from Monaco for around £120m in 2018 after a season-long loan from Monaco.

The World Cup winner has since scored 60 goals in 87 games on his way to being one of the best forwards on the planet.

The finisher is known for his lightning pace, and already has plenty of experience including 33 appearances for France.
