Real Madrid have led the race to secure the signature of PSG striker Kylian Mbappe for quite some time now, and following the Frenchman’s confirmation that he will leave PSG in the summer, it looks a foregone conclusion that he will make the move to the Spanish capital.
Liverpool gained traction on betting sites in recent months as they continued to consider the forward as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah if he opts to depart from Anfield this summer.

But, in the wake of the news that Mbappe will leave at the end of the campaign, it seems like there is only one destination plausible in the minds of new betting sites.
It has set the stage for a contractual battle between a number of clubs, and it remains to be seen how this one will play out.
Will Mbappe Join Real Madrid? Betting Odds Suggest It’s Likely
Real Madrid are now the 1/6 favourites with football betting sites to sign Mbappe from PSG.
He was on the brink of joining Los Blancos two years ago after they mounted a €200m bid, but he performed a dramatic U-turn and decided to stay in Paris instead.
Mbappe is set to top the goalscoring charts in Ligue 1 again, bagging 27 goals in 29 games so far, but his side continue to fall short in Europe and Mbappe has decided that greener pastures lie elsewhere.

Although no official announcement has been made, Mbappe is expected to link up with fellow Ballon d’Or candidates Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr in Madrid.
Los Blancos have been reliant on Bellingham for goals this season, and remain in need attacking reinforcements after bidding farewell to Karim Benzema last summer.
After chasing Mbappe for years it comes as no surprise that they are the odds-on favourites to snap him up.

Do Arsenal Or Liverpool Stand A Chance Of Luring Mbappe?
Despite being available at 12/1, Arsenal and Liverpool are not out of the running to sign Mbappe upon his contract’s expiration.
Liverpool look as though they are planning for life after Salah and could do something big to close the gap on a Man City team led by Erling Haaland.
The Frenchman has made no secret of his admiration for the Merseyside club, which has only added fuel to the fire.
Elsewhere, Mbappe could be what’s missing from the Arsenal frontline to earn them a Premier League title or European success.
It is evident that the Gunners are getting stronger each year under Mikel Arteta and the Frenchman could be lured by a lucrative contract if an offer is tabled.
Will Mbappe Stay At PSG Despite Recent Reports?
Despite Mbappe releasing a farewell video to Paris Saint-Germain fans, betting apps are offering a surprising 16/1 on Mbappe making a U-turn and remaining at PSG beyond this season.
The 25-year-old has had a phenomenal campaign yet again on a personal front and remains at the epicentre of Les Parisiens attacking line.
At the start of the season, PSG said they were prepared to bench him for the entire campaign if he didn’t not sign a new deal, but he has been at the forefront of their success both domestically and in Europe this term.
With a number of teams poised to strike, it is a question of whether PSG can negotiate a new contract with their main man, before eventually losing him to a major European rival.
Will Mbappe Finally Move To Saudi? Betting Odds Shed Light On His Next Club
Although the French superstar declined a meeting with Al-Hilal in the summer, firmly stating his reluctance to play in the Middle East, Mbappe is still a 33/1 shot to sign with a Saudi club.
The fact that a transfer fee can be removed from the equation, allows a number of clubs to offer Mbappe an even more lucrative deal.
Yet, the question still remains as to whether the PSG forward would want to leave Europe as he enters his prime years as a player.
Predicting Mbappe’s Next Move: Bayern & Barcelona Are Outsiders In Betting
Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also available at 33/1 to entice Mbappe to join their club next season.
The Bavarians lost out to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga this term, with spirits hampered further in a dramatic stoppage time defeat in their Champions League semi-final clash with Real Madrid.
Improvement is needed from Bayern if they are to remain the dominant force in Germany, and they may go after Mbappe next.
Barcelona’s chief marksman Robert Lewandowski is getting no younger and Mbappe could be the Polish international’s replacement for years to come.
However, given the financial trouble Barca have been in during recent times, it may prove infeasible.
