Kylian Mbappé has already 'signed a contract' with his next club amid interest from Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, according to reports.
It was revealed last week that Mbappé has no intention of remaining at Paris Saint-Germain beyond the end of this season and could leave on a free transfer in the summer.
Real Madrid have already missed out on signing him several times, but Real Madrid are still thought to be his most likely destination should he leave PSG.
Mbappe has also been linked with a move to the Premier League. It is claimed that Arsenal and Liverpool have been 'approached' about signing the France international. meanwhile It has been revealed that one of his agents has held talks with Man City.
It would of course be great for Mbappé to be in the Premier League, but I always felt that was unlikely as a result of the interest from Real Madrid. They also hope to sign Erling Haaland from Man City in the next few years.
According to Spanish reports marcaReal Madrid have already signed a deal to sign Mbappe on a free transfer.

“Mbappe and Real Madrid reached an agreement two weeks ago, and the French striker will become the Whites' new signing from July 1,'' it is claimed.
His contract is reportedly “bound to Real Madrid for five years.” He “didn't want any further offers from PSG” after he was “firmly determined” that a move to the La Liga giants was his “destiny”.
Real Madrid also said that although there were “differences of opinion” that had to be overcome in order to sign Mbappé with the team, it was ensured that Mbappé's “salary would not blow up the white club's salary table”. It has also been pointed out that they succeeded in lowering the conditions.
Regarding his annual salary, the report said: “After adjusting some concepts, the French striker will be the highest paid in the team based on his unofficial status as the best player in the world, but his annual salary will be “It's probably not too far off from the best players in the world.” Kroos and Modric earn the most in the team.
“Sources close to the negotiations say the scale of the negotiations is increasing and includes a net annual sum of 15 million to 20 million, plus targeted bonuses.”

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided his own update on the Mbappe saga on Monday morning. Although he has not played for Marca, he suggested that Real Madrid's bid to sign an attacker is at a “crucial moment”.
“I know that the feeling is also strong on the Real Madrid board. They believe that everything is ready to happen now.'' We have sent a formal contract proposal to the player himself. Now they have to move on to the signing stage and this is the critical moment,” Romano told Catch Offside.
“Let me be clear once again that Mbappé's salary at Real Madrid will be significantly lower than what is proposed in 2022, and his signing bonus will also be lower. It is still a large amount, but it will be lower than before. It's not the same.
“In the last 24 hours, Mbappe has told Al-Khelaifi that he does not want a new offer from PSG and considers this story to be over.”
