Agent Bruno Satin has claimed that Kylian Mbappe has set his sights on a move to Real Madrid this summer.
The Liverpool-linked forward has been embroiled in contract discussions with PSG for some time now, with it looking increasingly likely that the World Cup-winner could be set to seek pastures new.
“I also have some information, according to which Kylian Mbappé and his family have an agreement with Real Madrid,” the Frenchman told Canal+ (via the Mirror). “In principle, there would be an agreement on the part of the player, but we also need the agreement of Paris Saint-Germain.”

That being said, with the 22-year-old’s contract set to expire next summer, there is mounting on pressure on PSG to get a new contract sorted or risk having to part ways with the former Monaco man on the cheap in January.
