Mbappe to Real Madrid 'might be true', admits Perez as Ancelotti claims 'the future is already written'

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has dropped a major hint regarding Kylian Mbappe and the newly crowned Liga champions' transfer intentions for the Paris Saint-Germain forward.

Los Blancos have long been linked with Mbappe and their desire to lure the World Cup winner to the Spanish capital is no secret.

Their hopes of bringing Mbappe to the club appeared to take a blow after Mauricio Pochettino claimed the attacker would "100 per cent" be at Parc des Princes next season, but Perez has revived speculation after witnessing his club clinch the league title.

Speaking to Movistar in the wake of Madrid's La Liga triumph, Perez said: "I hadn't thought about it [Mbappe] but now that you mention it, it might be true and so on."

He added: "When we plan next year's squad, we'll see."

Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti was also quizzed on the possibility of signing the PSG star and gave a cryptic response, telling beIN Sports: "Mbappe to Real Madrid? With this club, with this president, the future is already written."

However, when asked if that was meant as a confirmation that the deal was done, the Italian coach replied: "I didn't say that."
