Former Real Madrid forward Fernando Morientes is convinced that Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe will arrive at Bernabeu this year.
Mbappe was the subject of a big-money bid from Los Blancos in the latter stages of the summer transfer window, but PSG signalled that they were not prepared to sell the France international.
The 23-year-old has now entered the final six months of his contract in Paris and continues to be strongly linked with a switch to Real Madrid, potentially on a free transfer this summer.
There have been suggestions that PSG are still working to sign the World Cup winner to a new deal, but Morientes has insisted that the move will take place this year.
"Kylian [Mbappe] will join Madrid this year," Morientes told RMC Sport. "I have listened to the club and to Florentino [Perez] a lot. The president rates him highly because he is unique. He could play at Real Madrid for many years."
Mbappe has again been in impressive form for PSG during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 19 times and contributing 16 assists in 28 appearances in all competitions.
