Euro transfer news: Kylian Mbappe's mum wades in as huge £85m bonus emerges

The jostling to get big deals lined up has intensified as the season's end draws nearer ahead of what will likely be another busy - and expensive - summer transfer window.

Will Kylian Mbappe stay in Paris or move to Madrid? The papers say one thing, but his mother says another. Will Leeds’ star man Raphinha be tempted by a big-money move to Spain? How will David Moyes and West Ham keep their forward momentum after European heartbreak? And who will Newcastle be spending their millions on this summer?

All those questions are addressed in our European transfer transfer news round-up today...

The saga over Kylian Mbappe’s next move has heated up. The PSG superstar is out of contract in the summer and assumed to be heading for Real Madrid. Le Parisien claimed that Mbappe was close to agreeing a new two-year deal with PSG - a deal which would save his transfer value.

Mbappe is reportedly in line for a €100m (£85.5m) signing-on bonus, effectively his own transfer fee - plus a £42.7m-a-year salary. Tempting. But Marca has an interview with his mother Fayza Lamari - a departure from the usual hints from agents and friends - and claims she told them: “The No1 option is Real Madrid." She said: “Talks around Kylian’s future are proceeding in an atmosphere of great serenity to enable him to make the right choice, respecting all parties.”

Marca are calling it “Operation Raphinha”. Barcelona have made the Leeds star man one of their summer targets, saying Xavi Hernandez and the club’s management have given the go-ahead. They even claim contact has been made with the Raphinha camp.
