Kylian Mbappe's future is back in focus, with Real Madrid optimistic about signing him

Reports suggest that Mbappe has made his decision in favor of joining Los Blancos

PSG icon Jerome Rothen insists that Mbappe is yet to make the call

The future of French forward Kylian Mbappe has once again become a hot topic, with speculation mounting about his next move. It is expected that he will communicate his decision before the return of the Champions League next week, and there is growing optimism at Real Madrid that he will choose to join them.

According to recent reports from Fabrizio Romano, both the dressing room and hierarchy at Real Madrid are confident that Mbappe will sign for them this summer. They are waiting for him to inform Paris SaintGermain of his decision. This follows on from multiple reports over the weekend suggesting that Mbappe has already made up his mind in favor of joining Los Blancos.

However, PSG icon Jerome Rothen disagrees with these reports and insists on his TV show 'Rothen s'enflamme'  that Mbappé hasn't made a final choice yet.

There may be some doubt surrounding Rothen's claim as various French sources believe that Kylian MBaape will indeed leave Ligue 1 this summer after turning down offers from Real Madrid three times previously. If he were to do so again after openly speaking about it being "his dream" would come as another major shock.

In summary, while there seems to be confidence within Real Madrid regarding their chances of signing Kylian MBaape , opinions differ on whether or not he has actually made a final decision.
