European transfer news: PSG star Kylian Mbappe goes house hunting in Madrid amid Real rumours
The 22-year-old is approaching the final year of his deal in Paris.
PSG striker Kylian Mbappe has reportedly started looking for houses in Madrid amid rumours that he is set to leave Paris for Real Madrid.
The 22-year-old enters the final year of his contract with the Ligue 1 club at the end of the season and Real have made no secret of their admiration for him.
Goal reports that the La Liga side will make Mbappe their top target for the next transfer window.
And the outlet has revealed that the France international has started house hunting in the Spanish capital.
The youngster has employed a representative to find a house in Madrid, but it’s unclear if this is a move to simply acquire property in the city, or a hint of a future move.
Mbappe hasn’t made a firm decision on his future yet and intends to wait for the end of the season before considering his next move.
PSG are still in the running for the Ligue 1 and Champions League titles, and they face Manchester City in the semi-finals of the latter competition next week.

That included a run of eight goals in his last five Champions League matches.
