Real Madrid are reportedly confident of winning the race for Kylian Mbappe, Metro has revealed this afternoon.
The article claims that the Spanish giants are ready to meet Monaco's £100 million fee.
Arsenal and a number of other European clubs are all interested in the 18-year-old.
Meanwhile, the youngster admits he wants to enjoy Champions League football next season in what would be Arsenal's first real blow for failing to quality for next season's competition.
"[The Champions League] is a dream, a competition that everyone wants to win and that only a minority can win - the most important are the titles," Mbappe told Telefoot.
"That would be much more of an obsession for me than the Ballon d'Or, for example. I want to touch the stars and, when you dream, you do not dream of playing the middle of the table or maintaining it.
"[The World Cup] is the number one goal at international level.
"As I always say, dreams are good but it's up to me to work for them."
