The rising star is set to join Los Blancos on a staggering deal.and Monaco's execs are to blame for his decision to bid farewell to the club.

Having the chance to keep the Ligue 1 title was a top priority for Kylian Mbappé, and given the team's transfer business this summer, the 18-year old feels it's time to walk away from the club that gave him his first shot at the big time.

According to reports by The Mirror, the French striker and his father are dubious about the team's chances of repeating a successful season as last one, especially after all of the team's losses in this transfer window.

Tiemoue Bakayoko, Benjamin Mendy and Bernardo Silva are some of the players that left the Ligue 1 champions, which caused the Mbappés to question the team's real chances of success.

Hence, the rookie and his father decided to change their minds about their continuity with the team, since they feel Les Princes won't be as competitive as they were last year. Initially, they had agreed to stay, as the prospect of developing his skills with the Ligue 1 side seemed as a good option for his career.

Real Madrid are preparing a record-breaking deal to have the French striker at the Bernabeu this summer, with Manchester City and Arsenal still on the waiting list if the deal doesn't go through.
