Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is reportedly keeping close contact with rising Monaco superstar Kylian Mbappe in a bid to have the 18-year-old prodigy choose Los Blancos over other keen suitors this summer.
It is said that the 1998 World Cup hero has reassured Mbappe that he would have plenty of opportunity to play next season because an un-named star is expected to leave. L'Equipe specifically speculates it could be Gareth Bale.
After initial doubts over how much he could hope to play, that has apparently made Mbappe feel more at ease about potentially heading to the Bernabeu. He is certainly much more ready for it than Martin Odegaard after the Norwegian ended up stuck in a no man's land between reserve and first-team levels.
The second aspect of Real's argument conveyed by Zidane is that the club is promising to make the youngster a global star in the space of two years.
Real - both Zidane and president Florentino Perez - will now apparently keep up the close contact with Mbappe as they look to ensure his head isn't turned by others.
Arsenal, for example, are thought to be keen, with Mbappe even rumoured to be interested in the idea of working with veteran coach Arsene Wenger. In fact, L'Equipe's report suggests that Wenger has also spoken directly with the player, although precious has been leaked as to the exact nature of the exchange between the two.
A football.london 'exclusive' even goes as claiming the Gunners are 'increasingly confident'. As such, it is said that Arsenal are preparing to make a world record offer to rival the one allegedly submitted by French giants Paris Saint-Germain this week.
