PSG HAVE REACHED AGREEMENT WITH MONACO FOR MBAPPE AND FABINHO.


Paris Saint-Germain have concluded an agreement with AS Monaco to sign Kylian Mbappe and Fabinho from the Ligue 1 champions reports the daily record.

According to sources familiar with the negotiations, Mbappe's ultimate transfer-fee cost to PSG will exceed the world-record €222m sum required to activate Neymar's release clause at Barcelona.

A percentage of Mbappe's fee will be contingent on performance-related variables.

PSG improved the financial terms on offer to both Mbappe, who is expected to be remunerated with a basic after-tax salary of around €9m, and father Wilfried, who represented his son in the negotiations.

Mbappe has played just one full campaign of senior professional football, delivering 26 goals from 44 appearances as Monaco took the Ligue 1 title away from PSG and reached the semi-final of the Champions League, a competition in which the striker scored six times. Called into the France national squad for the first time in March, the 18-year-old also made his international debut last season.

The highest profile of a list of extremely talented youngsters recruited for Monaco by former technical director Luis Campos, Mbappe cost the principality club €3m and was on a weekly wage of €34,600.
His sale to PSG ensures that Monaco will have raised more money from transfer fees in a single window than any club ever, with Bernardo Silva, Benjamin Mendy and Tiemoue Bakayoko all sold to English Premier League clubs in the most prominent of the French champions' earlier sales.

Fabinho's exit allows Monaco to open up a place in its squad list for a non-EU player, while fulfilling the principality club's promise to the versatile Brazilian that he would be allowed to leave Monaco this summer.

The 23-year-old, who has excelled at Champions League level at both right back and in the centre of midfield, had been on a list of potential recruits drawn up by Old Trafford manager Jose Mourinho.

Dendoncker had attracted a degree of interest from Everton and United and was wanted by Atletico Madrid. Valued at around €35m by Anderlecht, the 1m88 midfielder did not train with the Belgian Pro League champions on Friday.
