Manchester City are trying to beat Real Madrid to the signing of 18-year-old Monaco forward Kylian Mbappe.

City are prepared to pay £160m for the France international, as Pep Guardiola continues to overhaul his squad.

However, the scorer of 15 goals in 29 Ligue 1 games in 2016-17 will turn down a move to the Premier League in favour of joining Spanish and European champions Real Madrid.
