Monaco have reportedly rejected a €85million bid for Monaco youngster, Kylian Mbappe put on table by Manchester United.

The 18-year-old striker has emerged as one of the most in-demand players in Europe, after a breakthrough season for Leonardo Jardim’s side.

Italian outlet, Gianluca Di Marzio, claims that United’s bid falls far short of the €120m to €140m the Ligue 1 value Mbappe at.

Monaco’s sporting director, Antonio Cordon, last month confirmed that the player has a release clause in his contract, although he refused to reveal the value.

Yes, he has one — but it’s a lot, a lot of money,” he said.

“I didn’t do Mbappe’s contract and I can’t tell you the details of the clause, but it’s a lot of money.

“I hope he’ll stay because we have to keep our best players, but we all know the market and how things happen. I don’t know how many offers there are for him.”
