Mbappe may have expressed his interest in joining Madrid, but there are still a number of roadblocks to be navigated. PSG will reportedly want to collect some kind of fee for his departure, while Los Blancos are expected to pay a hefty signing bonus to make the deal happen.

Despite the talk, Mbappe has pledged to play out the rest of the season for the Parisians. They are currently top of Ligue 1, and are set to play Real Sociedad in the Champions League last 16 in mid-February. Los Blancos, meanwhile, are La Liga favourites, and could open up a convincing lead atop the table with a win over Girona this week.
