REAL MADRID want to sign Kylian Mbappe’s 13-year-old brother as they prepare to table an offer for the Paris Saint-Germain star.
As reported last week, the Galacticos are ready to go all out for the 21-year-old World Cup winner this summer with a £257million move.

Kylian has long been linked with a switch to the Spanish capital.
And both Madrid’s manager Zinedine Zidane and president Florentino Perez have not hidden their admiration for the French striker.
Now his younger brother Ethan has been tipped to follow in his footsteps in his older sibling’s footsteps.
He impressed the host of scouts at the International Champions Cup Futures tournament in December.
That was playing for a PSG youth side – but Diario AS claim Real now want the pair of Mbappe boys.
Ethan is also a forward and there is no doubt his capture would help to convince Kylian over to Spain.
Mbappe’s team-mate Neymar is the current most-expensive player on the planet following his £198m move from Barcelona in 2017.
But that fee would be smashed should Madrid manage to push through a transfer for Mbappe.
His deal is up in 2022 and PSG are said to be willing to give him equal terms with Neymar in order to keep him.
But Real want to make Mbappe their signature signing for their new stadium, which is due to open in October 2022.
AS claim completing a deal for the striker would be the “perfect icing for the stadium”.
