Kylian Mbappe has added fuel to the fire surrounding his future in Paris Saint-Germain by launching a house hunt in Madrid.
The French forward is about to enter the last 12 months of his contract with the Ligue 1 giants and while the club remains public confidence, rumors continue to swirl about a potential move to the Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Los Blancos has long been linked with the World Cup winner and Zinedine Zidane is in fact Mbappe’s idol, which means that a move to Madrid has always seemed inevitable to him.

Although it is expected that each move would cost Madrid well over 100 million pounds, it has reportedly not pushed Mbappe from planning for the future in any case.
According to Goal, Mbappe has commissioned a member of his entourage to find suitable housing in the Spanish capital. Already fluent in the language, it is reported that the 22-year-old is keen to start a store in Spain for the future, regardless of whether it is with Real Madrid or just for his real estate portfolio.
Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino has recently branded Mbappe a “dream” to work with, while sporting director Leonardo has repeatedly expressed confidence that the freight forwarder will commit his long-term future to the club.

The club is also about to agree on a new agreement with Neymar, but Mbappe’s future is probably in all headlines in the future.
In addition to Real Madrid, it is expected that top clubs such as Manchester City and Barcelona would also be interested in signing Mbappe – should he decide to leave this summer the last year of his contract.
At the moment, however, he is said to be completely focused on helping PSG succeed this season. He is the club’s top scorer with 34 goals this season and has fired them to the semi-finals of the Champions League with five goals against Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the knockout phase, while also leading the points lists in Ligue 1 as PSG track Lille with a point at the top of the table.
