According to reports from Goal, Kylian Mbappe has already started house hunting in Madrid, with a member of his entourage charged with the task of finding a suitable residence. Mbappe's decision to look for a house in Madrid has fuelled speculation that he could be making a move to Real Madrid in the summer. The dazzling Frenchman's deal with PSG expires next summer and Mbappe is reportedly stalling an extension with the reigning Ligue 1 champions. 

Earlier this year, Mbappe hinted at playing abroad as he discussed 'added pressure' from the media which came from playing for a French club in France.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid have long been linked with signing Mbappe and manager Zinedine Zidane has also stated his admiration for the World Cup winner.

However, it is believed that the 13-time European champions are simply driving up the Norwegian's price and are firmly interested in bringing Mbappe to the Spanish capital. As per reports, PSG are demanding between  €120M to €150M to part ways with Mbappe.
