Monaco are ready to sell Kylian Mbappe to Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain in a deal that will cost the capital club £138 million, plus one of their players.

According to reports in France, the 18-year-old will swap the south of France for the north, with Angel Di Maria and Julian Draxler both candidates to move in the opposite direction.

The teenager’s future has been the topic of intense speculation throughout the summer, with several clubs reportedly courting him over the past months, including Real Madrid and Barcelona.

However, it appears he is now set to stay in France and join Neymar in a new-look frontline in Paris.

Mbappe’s signature would see PSG’s current crop of stars sink further down the pecking order at the Parc des Princes, and it is thought a number of them are free to leave.

German international Draxler has already been told he is surplus to requirements despite only joining the club in January, and Di Maria could also be set to leave to make way for Mbappe.

Either could be used as a makeweight in the deal to bring him to Paris, while other stars such as Manchester United and Tottenham target Serge Aurier and former Newcastle midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa have also been instructed to find new clubs.

Mbappe was left out of the Monaco squad that beat Metz 1-0 last Friday and is unlikely to play again for the French champions as they look to resolve his future.
