Bengaluru, August 14: Paris Saint-Germain shocked the whole world this summer by breaking the world record for transfer of Brazilian superstar Neymar from FC Barcelona but the French giants are far from finished if reports in France are to be believed.

In fact, it could only be the beginning of the most ambitious project in world football.

Less than a month after the French capital club made Neymar the most expensive player of all time, they're ready to eclipse their own feat by luring Kylian Mbappe from AS Monaco.

The 18-year-old firmly established himself as a superstar in the making last season, scoring 26 goals and providing 14 assists in 44 appearances in all competitions for Monaco.

Obviously, it's no surprise that he's been the most in-demand player in Europe this summer, with a whole host of European giants linked with a swoop for him. PSG are looking to secure the youngster's signature to form the greatest attack for the future.

Monaco stunned PSG and the whole of Europe last season by winning the Ligue 1 title from the clutches of wealthy PSG and also had a brilliant a run in the Champions League.

However, Monaco find themselves in a bit of trouble right now as they've seen their Ligue 1 title-winning squad ripped apart this summer, and losing Mbappe would be the biggest blow dealt.

According to recent reports, it appears as though they're going to lose him eventually, and to make matters worse it's to direct rivals PSG who are ready to snap him up for a transfer fee that will exceed a whopping £200million exceeding the fee they splashed for Neymar.

It's claimed that they'll spend an initial £173million on the French international, with various performance-related bonuses then taking the final figure beyond £200million, and thus surpassing the fee they spent on Neymar last month.

Should the move go through, it would be a major blow to both Real Madrid and Manchester City, with both clubs explicitly mentioned in the report as being interested in the youngster.

It now seems as though they've missed out as PSG continue to splash big money on strengthening their squad, and they'll undoubtedly have one of the most feared attacking line-ups in Europe with Edinson Cavani to compliment Mbappe and Neymar.
