Kylian Mbappe's agent and mother has hinted that the France international will be joining Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.
The 25-year-old's departure from Paris Saint-Germain has already been confirmed, with his contract in the French capital due to officially expire at the end of next month.
There has not yet been an announcement over his next move, but Real Madrid appear to have won the race for his signature.
Carlo Ancelotti's side are expected to confirm a deal in the early stages of next month, once they have taken on Borussia Dortmund in the final of the Champions League.
Mbappe held a party in Paris on Monday evening to mark the end of his time at PSG, and his agent and mother dropped a hint over the forward's future when she left the venue.

Mbappe's agent and mother drops hint over forward's future
"You all know it already," Fayza Lamari responded, as quoted by ESPN, when questioned on her son's next club.
The majority of Mbappe's teammates are said to have been at the party, but there was no sign of PSG's head coach Luis Enrique or president Nasser Al Khelaifi.
Mbappe has scored 44 goals and registered 10 assists in 47 appearances for his French club this season, securing another Ligue 1 crown in the process.
Enrique's team will take on Lyon in the final of the Coupe de France this weekend, but there have been claims that Mbappe could be left out of the squad.

Where will Mbappe play for Real Madrid?
Real Madrid head coach Ancelotti has a big decision to make next season when it comes to the position of Mbappe, as his favoured role down the left is also the main position of Vinicius Junior.
Karim Benzema's surprise departure from Bernabeu last year led to Ancelotti switching to a 4-3-1-2 formation this season, with Jude Bellingham playing behind Vinicius and Rodrygo.
However, Toni Kroos's shock exit could see Bellingham switch back into central midfield next term, with a 4-3-3 then allowing Mbappe to join Vinicius and Rodrygo in the front three.
Mbappe could allegedly largely operate down the middle for Los Blancos, with the Frenchman thought to believe that his game could reach the next level by playing in that area.
The forward has scored 256 goals and registered 108 assists in 307 appearances for PSG, and his expected arrival in the Spanish capital will boost what is already a very strong Real Madrid team.
