Mbappe told Paris Saint-Germain that he will leave the club at the end of  his current contract which expires this summer, putting some of Europe’s biggest clubs on high alert.

It has been assumed for a long time that Mbappe will join Real Madrid however recent reports indicated that the European giants are struggling to reach an agreement on wages.

That has seen a number of other clubs step up their interest and it is presumed that Arsenal and Liverpool have both explored deals for the French international.

City met Mbappe’s representatives on Monday to discuss a potential transfer to the Etihad. It remains to be seen if City will make an offer to rival Real or if the player will drop his demands to consider a move to London's Arsenal or Merceyside Liverpool.

Mikel Arteta is hopeful that Arsenal are in the race to sign Mbappe but conceded that Real Madrid is the most likely destination for the France and PSG superstar.

Kylian Mbappe's entourage reportedly met withkey figures at Manchester City before announcing last week that he would be leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The France captain has been backed to join Real Madrid when his PSG contract expires.

News of his departure was announced on Tuesday - by which his representatives and agents are said to have already met with figures from the Etihad Stadium as he is set to begin to explore his options ahead of next season.

The forward joined PSG from Monaco in August 2017 and has helped them win five Ligue 1 titles. The 25-year-old has netted 20 goals in the league this season as PSG push for their third league title in a row.
