Kylian Mbappe reportedly has his heart set on a move to Real Madrid this summer.

The Monaco teenager has been tipped to leave the Ligue 1 club after a stunning season.

He has attracted interest from a host of clubs - including Arsenal and Liverpool - and could smash the transfer record if he moves on.

But any hopes of a move to the Premier League have been dashed with Mbappe only interested in Real.

According to MARCA, the 18-year-old is keen on joining the European and La Liga champions.

Mbappe's move has been aided by Florentino Perez's re-election as Real Madrid president.

Perez, who will remain in the role for another four years, became well known for making Galactico signings and Mbappe could be the next.

He could replace Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu, as the Portuguese's future remains uncertain.

Ronaldo is reportedly ready to turn his back on Spain after being accused of tax evasion.

Mbappe's international teammate Ousmane Dembele has been name-checked as another possible replacement in Spain on Monday.
