Every European giant will want to get their hands on Monaco's Kylian Mbappe this summer.

In a staggering breakthrough season, the 18-year-old has scored 23 goals in all competitions and fired his side to within touching distance of the Ligue 1 title.

Monaco are currently top of the table on 80 points, level with reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain but with a game in hand.

Mbappe is now the proud owner of a pretty incredible Champions League record, too.

By scoring against Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund in both legs of the last 16 and quarter-finals respectively, he became the first player in history to score in his first four knockout games.

As a result of Mbappe's meteoric rise, the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City are all reportedly interested in his services this summer.

Zinedine Zidane's side are said to be favourites but, as with any transfer saga, there's simply no telling at this stage where Mbappe will end up.

For all we know, he could opt to stay at Monaco, especially so if they win Ligue 1 - and perhaps even the Champions League.

However, according to the Times' Paul Hirst, Pep Guardiola has already pulled out of the race to sign the France sensation.

Why? Because his price tag is absolutely huge.

Hirst explains how City enquired into Mbappe's future recently, to which Monaco said he would cost no less than - wait for it - £110 million (€130 million).

Just to reiterate, £110 million for an 18-year-old who's had one good season. City have since lost interest, which says a lot considering the money they've spent in recent years.

Should Monaco hold out for a world-record fee, it's unlikely Mbappe will be going nowhere, though Thierry Henry believes he's the real deal.

"I don't like comparing players," the Arsenal legend told Canal+ recently, per Sky Sports. "Mbappe has to become Mbappe, and that's all.

"But my word, he is good. Ooh la la. I met him, and he gave me the impression that he has a good head on his shoulders. l really like watching him play. He thinks.

"There's a thing that annoys me sometimes. We talk about players, 'He's quick, he's strong, he can jump high'. We never talk about players' brains and that annoys me.

"When I watch him dribble, he's thinking. He thinks when he plays and that for me is the most important thing in a player. He thinks. He uses his brain.

"Yes, he's quick, but he's thinking and that is the sign of a kid who can go a long way in the game."
