Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe has reportedly told Real Madrid to go after Saint-Etienne midfielder William Saliba.
Mbappe is believed to be on Real's list of 'Galactico'-type signings ahead of the summer transfer window.
Los Blancos have failed to replace Cristiano Ronaldo since his departure to Juventus last July, but that could change in the coming months as they are said to hold a serious interest in Mbappe.
According to Don Balon, the Frenchman holds all the cards and he wants Real to go after Saliba, who has been a key player for fifth-placed Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne.
The 18-year-old midfielder has only started seven top-flight games in his short career, but there has been enough promise to attract attention from Manchester United.
Saliba also happens to be Mbappe's best friend, and the report suggests that the ex-Monaco ace is keen to link up with his pal at the Bernabeu.
