Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappe has been spotted in the Spanish capital amid rumours over a potential summer switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 23-year-old, who will see his Paris Saint-Germain contract expire next month, is allegedly keen to join Los Blancos and is willing to take a pay cut in order to complete a move to Carlo Ancelotti's side.
With such little time remaining on his contract, Mbappe's appearance in Madrid has sparked speculation that the Frenchman is in the city to negotiate a transfer to Real.
Spanish news outlet Cope have posted an image of Mbappe entering a restaurant in Madrid on Monday afternoon with PSG teammate Achraf Hakimi.

The report adds that both players arrived at the restaurant with two other people, with Hakimi accompanied by his brother.
Mbappe has since taken to Instagram to post an image of himself in Madrid with his barber Brice Tchaga and Hakimi.
Mbappe, who has recorded 35 goals and 23 assists in 43 appearances for PSG across all competitions, is believed to be enjoying a break away with Hakimi, before the pair return to first-team training later this week ahead of Saturday's Ligue 1 clash with Montpellier.
