According to Spanish television outlet El Chiringuito (via The Sun), Mbappe has requested to leave Paris Saint-Germain following previous expressions of disatisfaction.
The Ligue 1 Player of the Year told press that he feels ready for more of a leading role during his acceptance speech last week:
"I have discovered a lot here, and I feel it is perhaps the moment to have more responsibility.
"I hope that can maybe be at Paris Saint-Germain, that would be a great pleasure, or perhaps elsewhere with a new project."
Real Madrid have already acquired Luka Jovic for a reported £62 million, and are expected to clinch the signing of Eden Hazard from Chelsea for a further £115million.
