Real Madrid 'very confident of signing Kylian Mbappe in 2021'

Real Madrid reportedly believe that they will be able to secure a deal for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe in 2021.

The World Cup winner, regarded as PSG's key man, has just over 18 months remaining on his contract at Parc des Princes.

Despite the financial restrictions created by the coronavirus pandemic, sporting director Leonardo has reiterated that he expects the France international to pen fresh terms in the coming months.

However, according to 90 min, Mbappe has made it known that he intends to take on a new challenge in 2021, aware that PSG cannot afford to risk losing his services on a free transfer a year later.

Although PSG will likely meet any wage demands from the 22-year-old, the report claims that Real are confident of eventually wrapping up a deal during the summer.

Mbappe has been with the Ligue 1 champions since 2017, contributing 103 goals from 132 appearances in all competitions.
