Despite Sporting Lagos’ interest in Mbappe, the French striker is more likely to end up in the Spanish LaLiga with Real Madrid, who have been long-time admirers and are in pole position to land his signature this summer.

According to reports, Mbappe and Real Madrid have already agreed terms of a lucrative contract to bring the 25-year-old star to the Bernabeu in the summer when his spell with PSG ends, dashing Sporting Lagos’ hopes of a blockbuster singing, at least for now.
