DONE DEAL Blow for Liverpool, Chelsea as transfer target Leao extends stay at Milan
AC Milan star-forward Rafael Leao has penned down a new five-year contract extension at the Italian club, The Athletic has confirmed.
While that kind of significant outlay would be enough for most elite clubs in a single transfer window, chiefs at the Bernabeu have bigger plans and want to build the next 'Galacticos' team with Mbappe and Bellingham as the poster boys.
Real are long-time admirers of the PSG forward and made a world-record £170m bid for him two years ago.
Meanwhile, PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi and co want to build a new team around Mbappe, with Lionel Messi set to leave in the summer.
The French forward has, however, vehemently disagreed with some of the club's recent decisions.
In April, Mbappe publicly criticised PSG for using his image too prominently in their promotional material for season tickets.
"I disagree with this posted video," the France international declared. "It is certainly not Kylian Saint-Germain."
The two will undoubtedly be expensive, but Real look like they are ready to break the bank and build a new team around the duo.

Real's squad is due for some freshening up, with players like Luka Modric, Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos all in the evenings of their careers.
A 24-year-old Mbappe and a 19-year-old Bellingham will come off as a good investment.
