Kylian Mbappe sets Real Madrid tongues wagging as PSG superstar 'set to announce' megabucks transfer

World superstar Kylian Mbappe is closing in on announcing his next move as Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain battle to win the race.

Multiple reports suggest May 21 will be the date of the big reveal, however, there is a growing sense the France international could announce it before then.

And 90mins state the Bernabeu will be the next destination despite frenzied attempts from Qatar to keep him place in Paris.

PSG know losing their best player will have serious ramifications with fellow superstars Lionel Messi and Neymar not afforded the same adulation from the home support.

But Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is increasingly confident he will get his man to usher in a new Galacticos era at the Bernabeu.

The 23-year-old is regarded by many as the man who will take on the mantle of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi as the most recognisable face in world football.

Madrid have become specialists of the free transfer in recent years with David Alaba set to be joined by both Mbappe and Antonio Rudiger next season.

Los Blancos pay top money in terms of wages and they believe the future is bright under the guidance of beloved Carlo Ancelotti.

Madrid are targeting yet another Champions League Final place this season as they look to overturn a 4-3 deficit to Manchester City in their semi final second leg.
