LaLiga giants Real Madrid are reportedly willing to sanction a sale for one of their top players to push through a mega deal for Kylian Mbappe.

‘Barça is the club of my heart’ - Guardiola acknowledges after receiving FIFA 'The Best' award
Pep Guardiola, the esteemed manager of Manchester City, was honoured with the FIFA 'The Best' award as the best coach of the year. Despite this award coming as recognition for his amazing achievement with City, Pep saw it as an opportunity to express his love for Barcelona.
Mbappe could be looking at wages north of £600,000-a-week and though Madrid would be saving on a transfer fee, the annual costs of signing the Frenchman would be around £30m, which would mean an outlay of at least £150m.
The report further states that Manchester United hold a long term interest in Vinicius Jr, and could be on hand to move for the winger should he become available.
