PSG and Real Madrid are the two remaining suitors as the race for Mbappe nears its final stretch. The Parisian side, just as they did with Neymar, have the seal of approval from the player's father.
In France, reports suggest an agreement has been reached and the player's father is urging his son to choose PSG. Monaco, however, are reluctant to bolster the ranks of their French opponents and prefer to see him go to Real Madrid, once the player's wish to exit the club surfaced.
Between those two options, is 18-year-old Kylian Mbappe. After picking up an injury in Monaco's Ligue 1 debut, he will have time to consider his options and listen to advice from both sides.
The family wants Paris, the city were the player grew up and the club with whom his father had closed a deal. Monaco prefer Real Madrid. Zidane and Florentino Perez continue to work in the background trying to complete the swoop for the promising young striker.
The player's predicament has a sell-by date. Only 23 days until the window closes and the calendar adds pressure to the decision. Real Madrid, his family, PSG or Monaco... many factors in a blockbuster transfer which will rival that of Neymar for PSG.
