Los Blancos are in pole position to sign the French superstar on a free transfer, with a five-year deal at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u awaiting Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Real Madrid reportedly have a verbal agreement in place with Kylian Mbappe!\u26aa\ufe0f<br><br>?5 year deal<br>?\u20ac100 million signing bonus<br>?\u20ac50 million annual salary<br><br>[Via &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DiMarzio?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DiMarzio<\/a>]<br><br>Silly numbers!? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IqgHwAtTTJ\">pic.twitter.com\/IqgHwAtTTJ<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Footy Accumulators (@FootyAccums) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FootyAccums\/status\/1513619898768900103?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 11, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Other prospective deals have gone slightly under the radar with Mbapp\u00e9 in line to be Real\u2019s marquee summer signing. Erling Haaland is also reported to be looking for a new club ahead of next season but rumours of a switch to Madrid have gone cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s Antonio R\u00fcdiger is uncertain about his future amid the imminent expiry of his current deal at Stamford Bridge. Should the German defender opt to leave the Blues, Madrid may well be his next destination. AS Monaco midfielder Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni could also be on the move to Madrid as Real search for long-term replacements for the ageing Luka Modri\u0107 and Toni Kroos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Barcelona, Lewandowski has emerged as a viable option with the Bayern Munich striker out of contract in June, 2023 meaning Bar\u00e7a could acquire him for a cut-price fee. A two-time winner of The Best FIFA Men\u2019s Player award, Lewandowski is open to a move away from Germany and he would seek a three-year deal with La Blaugrana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CcNkDwsNjs9\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
