Seven players on the transfer list as Real Madrid look to fund Kylian Mbappe deal
Real Madrid have placed seven first-team players on the transfer list as they look to raise funds to sign Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe. It’s no secret how much Los Blancos president Florentino Perez admires the youngster. It is believed that he is the club’s number one target.

PSG spent €180 million on him back in 2018, and they would likely demand a similar fee this time around. In Madrid’s current financial situation, this is not possible without making big sales. As a result, the Spanish giants have made seven players available for sale, according to Marca. Isco Isco hasn’t been at his best in recent years Once one of the brightest talents at the club, attacki...
