Kylian Mbappe has been sighted in Madrid as questions about his future club continue. Mbappe is in Madrid in the company of his Paris Saint Germain teammate Archaf Hakimi.
Mbappe uploaded a picture on his Instagram account that is understood to have been taken from his barber’s place in Madrid.
The French superstar has been subject to unending transfer rumors. Real Madrid are hoping to sign him on a free transfer. His current contract with PSG tuns out next month.
Efforts by the PSG bosses to tie him down to a new contract have so far proved futile. Mbappe himself is looking to make a move to the Spanish capital. He sees it as the perfect club where he can step up in his career.
El Partidazo de COPE reports that Mbappe was spotted entering a Madrid restaurant.
Sports Mole understands that Real Madrid are increasingly confident they will land the World Cup winner. Last week, reports emerged that Mbappe had agreed on a two-year contract extension with PSG.
His mother, Fayza Lamari, came out guns blazing to dispute the rumors. Lamari maintained that her son was yet to make a decision on his future.

It is expected that the 23-year-old will make his decision known after PSG’s last game against Metz. PSG have already won the Ligue One title and are playing the rest of the games as a mere formality.
Mbappe has often insisted that he will do things in a respectful manner to both Real Madrid and PSG. He grabbed news headlines four years ago after a spectacular breakthrough season at Monaco.
Zidane could become PSG's manager
Apart from Mbappe, PSG owners will also have to sort out the Mauricio Pochettino issue as the Argentine manager continues to fall out of favor with PSG faithful.
Sports Brief reported that former Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane has been touted as a possible replacement for Pochettino.
The French Football Association President Noel Le Graet recently said that Zidane would be an ideal manager for the Ligue one champions.
