The transfer didn’t go through but it has for some months now been accepted that Mbappe will move to the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season on a Bosman.
There have been recent reports from Le Parisien that PSG may entice Mbappe into signing a new two-year contract at the club.
But in Spain, Madrid are confident that a deal is done.
Confirmation of the move should arrive in the coming weeks.
Mbappe was a key protagonist as his current club PSG played against his future club Real Madrid in the Champions League last-16 in 2022.
The Frenchman scored the winner in the 1-0 first leg win for PSG in Paris, before opening the scoring in the Bernabeu in the second leg.
However, a seventeen-minute Karim Benzema hat-trick in the last half-an-hour claimed a famous comeback win for Real Madrid, 3-2 on aggregate. Madrid are now in the Champions League final after comeback wins against Chelsea and Man City in the next two ties.
Mbappe signed for PSG from Monaco in a €180m deal in 2017, joining the same summer as Neymar, who transferred for a world record €222m.
He has won four Ligue 1 titles during his time at the club, as well as the World Cup for the France national team.
