Kylian Mbappe arrived at Paris Saint-Germain s training ground on Friday amid the expectation Real Madrid would push to complete his signing in the coming hours.
Mbappe wore a white baseball cap and white T-shirt, and whether by accident or design that only fuelled anticipation of a blockbuster move to Los Blancos.
According to reports in Spain, Madrid have offered €170million plus €10million in add-ons for the France striker.
Mbappe was pictured by El Chiringuito TV arriving at the PSG premises ahead of a scheduled training session.
He was reported to have arrived shortly after 09:30 local time, with PSG due to step up preparation for their Ligue 1 clash with Reims on Sunday evening.
Mbappe, 22, has entered the final year of his PSG contract and there has been no indication of a desire on his part to extend his stay. He would be able to leave on a free transfer at the end of the current season, were he not to agree new terms.
The 2018 World Cup winner joined from Monaco in 2017 and has scored 133 goals in 174 games for the Parisians, at a rate of one goal every 102.46 minutes.
He has scored six hat-tricks for PSG and would join up with France team-mate Karim Benzema in Madrid s attack should the move to Spain go through.
PSG sporting director Leonardo was also pictured making his way into the training facility.
Earlier this week, Leonardo expressed dissatisfaction as the saga unfolded, with PSG having heavily invested during the close season to assemble a formidable squad.
They have brought in Lionel Messi from Barcelona in a staggering move, as well as acquiring the likes of Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum and Achraf Hakimi.
