General Football News! 2019-2020 Season

One of the agent who has made deals for Real Madrid often has claimed that Mbappe is worth whopping €300M. :flushed:

He claims the transfer to RM could have been completed this year itself if not for the Chinese virus pandemic. He believes transfer may happen next year.
